50%
can’t go rooftop

Nearly half of US households can’t install rooftop solar, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Wrong roof. No roof. Renters. Or the $20,000 upfront just isn’t on the table. Community solar solves all of that.

What is
community solar

A solar farm is built nearby. You reserve a share based on your energy use. That solar power flows into the grid powering your home. Your share then shows up as credits on your regular electric bill so they could lower what you pay.

How it works

Three steps.
Two of them are us.

  1. We find
    your farm

    Tell us your address and current utility. We match you with a solar project near you and reserve a portion sized to how much energy you use.

  2. Nothing else changes

    Same utility. Same wires. Same reliability. There’s no equipment to install and no service to interrupt.

  3. Credits land
    on your bill

    Once the farm is up and running, your share earns credits that go straight onto your utility bill. We track every one in your dashboard, so you can see exactly what’s been credited.

Community solar
without the homework

Most people sign up for community solar once, then forget about it. That’s fine until the farm changes terms, your usage shifts, or a better project opens up nearby. We watch so you don’t have to.

  • We match.
    You don’t shop.

    Community solar is hundreds of projects with various terms and discounts. We compare providers to find the best fit for your address and usage.

  • Credits tracked automatically

    Your dashboard shows what you’ve earned, month by month. No spreadsheet.

  • One account,
    all your energy

    Sits inside the same dashboard as your bill insights, alerts, and rates.

  • No fees.
    No contracts.

    You pay nothing to enroll and nothing to cancel. If a project ever stops making sense for your household, you can leave.
