Maximizing Your Community Solar Savings

Once you're enrolled in community solar, here's how to get the most value from your subscription.

Understand Your Bill Credits

Your savings come from bill credits that appear on your electric statement. These credits are based on:

  • Your share of the solar farm's production
  • Current electricity rates
  • Your monthly energy usage

Tips for Maximum Savings

  1. Match Your Subscription Size: Choose a subscription that covers most of your annual electricity usage
  2. Monitor Your Credits: Check your bill each month to ensure credits are being applied correctly
  3. Time Your Enrollment: Spring and summer months typically generate more solar credits
  4. Consider LMI Programs: If you qualify for low-to-moderate income programs, you may get enhanced savings

Common Questions

Q: What happens if I produce more than I use? A: Credits typically roll over to the next month.

Q: Can I change my subscription size? A: Most programs allow adjustments, though policies vary.

Q: What if I move? A: Many programs let you transfer within the same utility area.

Stay Informed

  • Review your utility bills monthly
  • Keep your contact information updated with your provider
  • Ask about new programs or enhanced benefits
