Community Solar

Discover opportunities to reduce electricity costs through shared solar programs, without on-site construction or capital investment.

Introduction

Potential Electricity Savings Without On-Site Solar

Community solar programs offer organizations an opportunity to reduce electricity expenses by subscribing to shared solar projects, without installing equipment, modifying facilities, or making capital investments. Eligible participants generally receive utility bill credits based on their subscription, creating potential savings depending on program economics and contract terms.

Tradition Energy helps organizations evaluate available programs, projected savings, subscription costs, bill-credit structures, and contract flexibility. We also assess program-specific environmental benefits, including whether renewable energy certificates (RECs) are available to support sustainability objectives.

How Community Solar Works

Community solar allows eligible organizations to subscribe to a shared solar project located within an applicable utility service territory. Subscribers generally receive credits on their utility bills based on their allocated share of the project’s generation. Depending on subscription costs and program terms, these credits can create net electricity savings without requiring on-site equipment or capital investment.

While community solar offers potential financial benefits, participation does not automatically provide ownership of the project’s renewable energy certificates (RECs) or the right to claim renewable electricity use. These environmental claims depend on who owns and retires the associated RECs. Tradition Energy helps organizations evaluate subscription economics, REC ownership, and program requirements to ensure participation aligns with their financial and sustainability objectives.
