Community solar farms are revolutionizing the way we access renewable energy, offering an affordable and accessible solution for individuals and businesses to support clean energy without the need for personal solar installations. PureSky Energy’s community solar farms are among the leading options for those who want to benefit from solar power while saving on energy costs. Here's a step-by-step guide to enrolling in a PureSky Energy community solar farm.
Step 1: Understand Community Solar
Before enrolling, it’s important to understand what community solar is and how it works. Community solar refers to large-scale solar farms that generate electricity for multiple subscribers, such as households or businesses, within a specific utility area. By subscribing to a portion of a solar farm’s output, you can receive credits on your electricity bill, reducing your energy costs while supporting renewable energy production.
PureSky Energy manages these solar farms and provides customers with an easy and cost-effective way to participate in the clean energy transition. There’s no need to install solar panels on your property, making it an excellent option for renters, homeowners with shaded roofs, or those who prefer a hassle-free approach to solar energy.
Step 2: Check Eligibility
To enroll in PureSky Community Solar, you must meet certain eligibility requirements:
1. Electricity Account: You’ll need an active electricity account with your utility provider to enroll and receive bill credits.
2. Location: Ensure that you reside or operate within a utility area served by PureSky Community Solar. Use our online Check Availability tool or contact us directly to verify your location’s eligibility at customercare@pureskyenergy.com or 1-877-267-8727.
Step 3: Get Started with an Electricity Assessment
Many community solar providers, including PureSky Energy, offer zero cost electricity assessments to help you understand the process and determine your subscription size. To get the process started, we will need the following information:
- Contact details (name, address, email, phone number)
- A copy of your recent utility bill with ideally 12 months usage details on it. This allows us to size your subscription to maximize savings.
Here’s what to expect from electricity assessment:
- Energy Usage Analysis: PureSky Energy will review your past electricity usage to recommend the optimal subscription size, ensuring that you receive maximum benefits without overcommitting.
- Cost Savings Estimate: You’ll receive an estimate of your potential savings based on your subscription and local solar production rates.
- Community Solar Farm Overview: A community solar representative will explain the specific solar farm you’ll be subscribing to, including its location, capacity, and environmental impact.
Step 4: Review the Subscription Agreement
Once you’ve decided to move forward, you’ll need to review and sign a subscription agreement. This document outlines the terms and conditions of your participation, including:
- Subscription Size: The percentage of the solar farm’s output allocated to you.
- Billing Structure: Details on how you’ll be billed for your electricity usage and how solar credits will appear on your utility bill.
- Contract Length: The duration of your subscription
We offer free cancellation for all residential accounts if you change your mind. All we ask is for you to let us know so we can add new subscribers from our waitlists.
Take the time to read the agreement thoroughly and ask questions if anything is unclear.
Step 5: Confirm Enrollment
After submitting your information, you’ll receive confirmation of your enrollment. PureSky Energy will also notify your utility provider about your subscription. From this point, you’ll start receiving credits on your electricity bill as soon as the utility processes your information or the solar farm begins generating power – whichever comes first.
Step 6: Monitor Your Subscription
Once enrolled, you can track your subscription and energy savings through PureSky Energy’s monthly invoice or statements, or on your utility account. They provide:
- Production Data: Information on how much energy your portion of the solar farm has generated.
- Savings Summary: Details on your bill credits and overall cost savings.
- Environmental Impact: Metrics showing your contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
