How Community Solar Works

Community Solar is a green option that makes solar power available to renters and homeowners with no up-front costs or expensive rooftop solar panels. Instead, solar panels are located at local solar farms across Maine, which generate power from the sun and deliver it to the Central Maine Power (CMP) electricity grid. Then, a portion of that power is credited to you, reducing your electricity bill every month.

No solar panels on your roof,
only on our Maine solar farms. We generate power from the sun, then pass it along.
