Community solar programs are typically tied to a consumer s specific address but the fpl plan provides for its solar power to follow consumers who move within its service territory. How community solar works. The first community solar storage project in new york was completed and is expected to reduce the energy costs for approximately 150 households in westchester county and new york city and provide power to 12 tesla electric vehicle supercharging stations. Community solar gives you the opportunity to support the development of solar power in georgia by subscribing to a portion of local solar farms.

Shared renewable energy arrangements allow several energy customers to share the benefits of one local renewable energy power plant. When the power is supplied strictly by solar energy it is sometimes called community solar. Project participants benefit from the electricity generated by the community solar farm which costs less than the price they would ordinarily pay to their utility. A community solar project sometimes referred to as a solar garden farm or shared solar is a solar power plant whose electricity is shared by more than one household or business.

You then receive energy credits on your monthly bill based on the solar farm s production. The primary purpose of community solar is to allow members of a community the opportunity to share the benefits of solar power even if they cannot or prefer not to install solar panels on their property.
