Access Solar Energy Without Rooftop Panels

Simple Subscription for Sustainable Energy

With over 3,000 solar panels generating solar power locally, customers can lease solar blocks from the project and claim the advantages of renewable energy. Each block generates 200 kWhs of solar power, and customers can subscribe up to their lowest monthly energy consumption in a calendar year. For example, each block generates 200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy, so a home that uses 850 kWh per month (on average) can lease up to 4 blocks of solar energy (800 kWhs). There are no infrastructure or maintenance costs, and customers can keep their subscriptions for up to 20 years. In addition, if a customer moves within the RenewChoice service territories, their solar blocks can transfer to the new location by a simple phone call to the utility.

Benefits of Joining SharedSolar

  • Access for All: Give homeowners, renters, and businesses access to fiscal and environmental benefits of solar.
  • Inclusive: Expand access to solar power for all, including low-to-moderate income households.
  • Resilient Grid: Build a strong, distributed, and resilient electric grid.

How it Works

Customers can subscribe for 1 kilowatt (kw) blocks. Each will generate 200-kilowatt-hours (kwh) of energy. An average-size home uses about 750 kwh per month. Customers can keep their subscriptions for up to 20 years. If they move to another city within RenewChoice service territory, their solar blocks go with them.
