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:

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