Community solar is a win-win-WIN solution for your finances, the environment, and our community.
Here’s why:
All-Inclusive Access
Community solar farms allow individuals, businesses, and communities to support the production of solar energy and save money. Solar farms are available to practically everyone that pays an electric bill in that service area, eliminating barriers to entry and allowing more people to realize the benefits of solar energy..
Guaranteed Savings
The average Marylander spends $2,544 a year on electricity. By participating in a community solar program, you can save as much as 10% a month on your electric costs. That means you could be saving $250 a year! *JUST for signing up* for a FREE, clean energy source that benefits the environment and our well-being.
Shared Resources
Community solar allows multiple individuals or entities to share the costs and benefits of a local solar farm. This pooling of resources makes solar energy more accessible to a broader range of people, (including renters!) and those with shaded roofs, or those unable to afford the upfront costs of installing solar panels.
Local Empowerment
Community solar projects are often developed locally, which can lead to job creation and economic development in the community. Additionally, by generating electricity locally, these projects reduce the need for long-distance transmission of energy, minimizing energy losses and enhancing grid resilience.
Renewable, Infinite Resource
Solar energy comes from the sun, a virtually infinite and renewable resource. As long as the sun exists, we can harness its energy!
Community solar really is the superhero of sustainability!
