Community Solar

Support local communities while reducing cost.

What is Community Solar?

Community Solar can provide your business dependable electricity bill savings without having to host solar panels at your own facilities. Local solar facilities are shared and financially supported by multiple community subscribers who might not otherwise be able to access solar. Community Solar doesn’t require you to make capital expenditures, has no impact to on-site operations, and doesn’t affect supply agreements. Your business simply receives bill credits on your utility invoices.

Discover the benefits

  • Enhance sustainability

    Participation supports local communities and local solar development.

  • Maintain flexibility

    Subscriptions can be reassigned to other locations or qualified entities within the same utility service territory.

  • Advisory services

    Get expert advice on your Community Solar plan at no additional cost.

  • Price stability

    With careful subscription sizing, community solar provides dependable discounts on your utility bill.

How it works

NRG has a market-leading approach to maximize the value of Community Solar and minimize effort. We work with organizations to scale Community Solar based on unique footprints. An offsite solar facility generates electricity that’s delivered directly to the grid. Afterward, bill credits are assigned to specific customer sites and the customer pays a discounted price for bill credits.

This could be a great fit if…

  • Your business has a broad footprint in utility service territories that have ongoing Community Solar programs
  • You want to work with a team that’s well-versed in working with a large organization to maximize the benefits of Community Solar while minimizing logistics
