Who Benefits from Community Solar? Everyone.
By Solar Landscape
Community solar is designed to be inclusive, expanding the benefits of renewable energy to more people than ever before. That means whether you’re a renter in an apartment, a homeowner, a retiree on a fixed income, or a teacher looking to reduce monthly expenses, you can tap into affordable energy, without installing panels on your roof.
Our community solar subscribers come from all walks of life, united by a shared goal: saving money while supporting clean energy.
Community solar makes it easy harness the power of the sun without making any major commitments. Meet a few of our subscribers who enjoy community solar’s benefits, including lower costs and the pride of supporting green energy.
Meet Ron D., Music Director
Ron has always been fascinated by electronics and sustainability. In the 1970s, after converting a gas sedan to electric, his passion for green solutions deepened.
As a HUD senior apartment tenant, Ron enjoys conveniences like public transport, a community room, and a garden. As the music director and green coordinator of his church, he made environmental improvements like replacing inefficient lightbulbs and addressing energy waste.
Despite his interest in solar energy, living in an apartment limited Ron’s clean energy options until he signed up for community solar.
Now, he saves money while reducing his carbon footprint. He tells others that it’s possible to participate in green energy initiatives even in apartment living.
Meet Janet P., Senior Living Resident
Janet is a retiree who lives in a senior living housing community. Since she is on a fixed income budgeting is especially important, which led her to enroll with Solar Landscape in 2021. By signing up, she supports Solar Landscape’s efforts to reduce carbon footprints and fight climate change. The savings on her electricity bill is also a big help in keeping her expenses within her budget.
Janet once wrote a book about her experience walking 500 miles across Spain. The trip heightened her appreciation for our planet and our precious natural resources. Today, she sees her subscription with Solar Landscape as a connection to our local and global community, and a smart way to build better world.
Meet Charles B., Renter
Charles signed up for community solar in 2021. Living in an apartment, he couldn’t install solar panels on his roof, but he was eager to find ways to lower his electricity bill.
He was thrilled to discover community solar as a solution. By becoming a subscriber, Charles could access discounted energy without needing his own solar panels.
A few years later, when his town introduced an energy aggregation program, Charles was excited to participate and save even more. He was pleased to learn that the community solar program was compatible with other state energy assistance programs, allowing him to benefit from more than one of them.
Charles’s story shows how community solar gives renters the flexibility to go solar and take advantage of other energy programs, maximizing both savings and impact.
