What is Shared Solar?

Shared solar, also known as community solar or solar gardens, is an innovative concept that allows individuals and organizations to benefit from solar energy without having to install solar panels on their own properties. This program opens up access to clean and renewable energy for those who may not have the ability or resources to install solar systems. Participants can subscribe to a shared solar project and receive credits on their electricity bills for the energy generated.
