Community Solar

Community Solar

Access the benefits of solar energy without on-site construction or capital investment.

Introduction

Renewable Energy Made More Accessible

Many organizations want to reduce emissions and support renewable energy adoption but may not have suitable facilities, available capital, or operational flexibility for on-site solar installations. Community solar programs provide an alternative pathway by allowing participants to subscribe to shared solar projects and receive the benefits of renewable energy without installing equipment on their properties.

Tradition Energy helps organizations evaluate community solar opportunities, assess program economics and contractual considerations, and integrate participation into broader sustainability and energy management strategies. Our independent guidance helps clients identify programs that maximize environmental and financial value.

Is Community Solar Right for Your Organization?

Community solar can provide an attractive renewable energy option depending on an organization’s facilities, energy requirements, financial objectives, and sustainability goals.

1

Leased Facilities

Ideal for organizations that lease buildings or cannot modify their facilities.

2

Limited Roof or Land Space

Access solar benefits without installing equipment or dedicating property to renewable generation.

 

3

Multi-Location Portfolios

Support sustainability initiatives across geographically dispersed facilities through subscription-based programs.

 

4

Capital Preservation

Participate in renewable energy without the capital investment typically required for on-site solar.

 

How Community Solar Works

Community solar allows organizations to subscribe to a portion of a shared solar project located elsewhere within their utility service territory. Participants receive credits associated with the energy generated by the project while avoiding the costs and responsibilities of owning or maintaining solar equipment.

Shared Solar Project

Subscription-Based Participation

Subscribe to a portion of the project’s generation based on eligible electricity usage and program requirements.
