What is community solar? Think of it like a "community garden"
Community solar works much like a community garden: just like you can get a share of land for your garden, you can get a share of a solar farm for your home's electricity. Hundreds of homeowners and apartment renters can tap into the shared electricity from a nearby solar farm at a price 20-25% lower than the utility's rates--guaranteed.
That means NO solar panels on your roof or property, NO cost to join or cancel, and NO change in your utility company.
Step 1
Based off of you average electricity usage, we'll reserve a share of the solar energy produced by the solar farm.
Step 2
Your solar energy is delivered to the local utility grid and then delivered to your home through your normal utility provider.
Step 3
The solar energy powering your home appears as solar credits on your electricity bill. You then pay for that solar energy at discounted price.

"Excellent team and such an easy way to save on your energy bill while at the same time getting your power from the sun. No investment in home equipment, no installation on your home and very low risk. I am not sure why everyone hasn't jumped on this incredible opportunity." Peter M.
"I'm so grateful for Neighborhood Sun which has made it possible for me to switch to 100% solar when it didn't make sense to put panels on my shady roof. Neighborhood Sun staff are a great team and it shows - hard working, clear communicators when following up with questions and issues." Mimi M.
Frequently Asked Questions
No catch! These are state-regulated programs and our mission is to make the benefits of solar power available to everyone. There are no fees to join, no fees to cancel with notice given, no change in how you get your electricity, and no contract or rate surprises—if you don’t like the service, you can cancel at any time.
Your share of the solar farm earns you energy credits when it generates power. You’ll pay us (Neighborhood Sun) the discounted rate which will automatically be applied to your monthly electric bill. For example, if your average monthly bill is $100 a month, your solar farm discount is 25% off that $100. You will now pay only $75 to us, and your electric bill will reflect $100 worth of solar credits, nearly zeroing out your electric bill payment to your utility itself--and saving you $25 that month!
Yes! As long as there is a solar farm in your electric utility territory, and you receive a utility bill in your name, you can enroll!
Harnessing energy from the sun is much cheaper than fracking for fossil fuels, and community solar is financially supported by state programs.
You pay Neighborhood sun for the credit applied to your bill at the discounted rate your local solar farm offers. This payment is made about one to two months after you have received your solar energy credits, so you are always ahead of the game and you only pay for what you have already used.
This is 100% local energy – not coming from a state on the other side of the country. Your Energy is made HERE and supports green jobs HERE.
