How do I save money with community solar?
Just like a house with rooftop solar gets credit for the power generated by its solar panels, community solar subscribers get credit for the power generated by their share of the community solar project. With the support of state and federal renewable energy incentives, Solar Landscape provides this clean power at a discount and passes the savings on to customers. Your discounted solar credits will appear directly on your electricity bill, reducing what you owe. The discount will depend on your electric utility provider and will never decrease
What is community solar?
Community solar programs allow all homeowners and renters to receive the savings benefit of solar energy. By subscribing to a community solar project, subscribers enable community solar providers like Solar Landscape to build and operate solar projects that add more clean energy to the local electricity grid. In return, subscribers receive credits on their electricity utility bills that reduce what they owe, saving them money. Customers do not need to buy any special equipment or install any panels on their roof.
Do I need to own a home to participate?
No. Customers do not have to own a home to join a community solar program because there are no panels to install on your property. The program is available to both renters and homeowners.
Is there an income requirement?
No. Community solar is open to everyone and there is no income requirement to enroll. If you qualify as a low- to moderate-income customer, however, we may be able to prioritize your enrollment so you can begin receiving solar credits sooner.
How does billing work with community solar?
Your bill will ensure that you have full transparency of your energy usage, solar credits applied to your account, and cost savings. If you have any questions about your billing, you can contact member services, or email care@solarlandscape.com.
When will my bill reflect the community solar discount?
You will receive an email when your project is energized. Typically, it will take one to three billing cycles after your project is energized to begin receiving solar credits on your bill.
Are there any additional costs or credit checks?
No. There are no credit checks, upfront costs or fees, and you can cancel at any time.
Do I keep my current utility provider?
Yes. You continue to be a customer of your utility provider. By enrolling in community solar, you have simply chosen to participate in a green energy project being offered for your community. The electricity is provided to your home the same way it always has been.
