      EASY TO SIGN UP

      How Community Solar Works

      By signing up to community solar, you are supporting the transition to renewable energy for all New Yorkers, while saving money.

      Step one: Sign up and we assign you a share of the nearest community solar program. We use your electricity bills to match your share to how much electricity you use. This maximizes your savings.

      Step two: Within a month or so of signing up, National Grid will start applying community solar credits to your account. The credits will be, equal to your share of the solar farm. 

      For example, if your share is worth $100, you will see the full $100 credited to your account.

      Step three: Start saving. You will pay for the community solar credits less your discount. If your share is worth $100, then you will pay $90. That’s up to 10% savings on your electricity bill.

      Clean energy is already a part of the electricity you use every day.

      There are thousands of active community solar programs across New York, supplying the grid with a clean source of energy. Community solar shares the financial benefits with New Yorkers through discounts on electricity.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How does it lower my energy costs?

      In short, we give you a discount of up to 10% on your electricity costs.

      Here’s where it gets a little complicated. When you sign up, we assign you a share of the community solar program. Your share earns you solar credits as the solar panels generate electricity.

      For example, let’s say your portion of the farm generates $100 worth of electricity. If your discount rate is 10%, you would pay us $90 and for the $100 solar credit received, reducing your overall cost by 10%, all while supporting renewable energy.

      How much does it cost to sign up?

      No cost to sign up, this is purely a savings program!

      How does seasonality affect solar and the credits I receive?

      The sun plays a big role in your savings!

      In the summer, when the solar panels generate the most, you will receive more savings from your community solar credits. That’s because the dollar amount of your credits is proportionally more. 

      As we move into the winter months, the solar panels will start to produce less. Meaning any extra community solar credits received in the summer, will be banked to use in the winter. Think of this as pre-paying for your electricity (at a discounted rate) in the summer to use in the winter.

      How does billing work?

      You will continue to receive a bills from your current utility provider. Your community solar credits generated by the solar farm will be applied directly on your utility bill.

      For the Grand Island Community Solar Program, we will send you a separate bill for the solar credits you received at a discounted rate. We offer autopay options to all customers so you will never have to waste time paying an extra bill. Saving is that simple!

      How is my subscription size determined and what if my usage changes?

      Our Community Solar Specialists analyze your annual electricity usage and use this to determine the appropriate subscription rate. We understand your electricity needs may change and can adjust your subscription to maximize your savings at any time.

      What if I move or need to cancel?

      Oftentimes, your solar subscription can move with you, we want you to continue to save money in your new home!

      If for any reason we can't move your subscription to your new home, you can still take advantage of our referral program and recommend a new customer to take your place.
