      EASY TO SIGN UP

      How Community Solar Works

      By signing up to community solar, you are supporting the transition to renewable energy, while saving money.

      1. Sign Up: Sign up and we assign you a share of the nearest community solar farm. We use your electricity bills to match your share to how much electricity you use. This maximizes your savings.

      2. See the Community Solar Credits: Within a month or so of signing up, you will start seeing community solar credits on your account. The credits will be equal to your share of the solar farm. 

      3. Pay Less for Electricity: You will receive savings equal to 50% of the value of your solar credit. If your share of the community solar credits is worth $100, you pay only $50. Big savings!

      Community Solar is Supported by Local & National Organizations

      Clean energy is already a part of the electricity you use every day.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How does it lower my energy costs?

      In short, you will receive savings equal to 50% of the value of your solar credit.

      Here’s where it gets a little complicated. When you sign up, we assign you a share of the community solar program. Your share earns you solar credits as the solar panels generate electricity.

      For example, let’s say, your portion of the farm generates $100 worth of electricity. You will receive savings equal to 50% of the value of your solar credits. If your solar credits are worth $100, then you will pay PureSky Energy $50, reducing your overall cost significantly, all while supporting renewable energy.

      How much does it cost to sign up?

      No cost to sign up, this is purely a savings program!

      You will still have to pay your utility bill each month, but you will see significant savings. Your savings from your solar credits + your fees = electricity savings!

       

      How does seasonality affect solar and the credits I receive?

      The sun plays a big role in your savings!

      In the summer, when the solar panels generate the most, you will receive more savings from your community solar credits. That’s because the dollar amount of your credits is proportionally more. 

      As we move into the winter months, the solar panels will start to produce less. Meaning any extra community solar credits received in the summer, will be banked to use in the winter. Think of this as pre-paying for your electricity (at a discounted rate) in the summer to use in the winter.

      How does billing work?

      You will continue to receive a bill from your current utility provider. Your community solar credits generated by the solar farm will be applied directly on your utility bill. You will receive savings equal to 50% of the value of your solar credits, and pay PureSky for the remaining 50%. 

      Please note, this will not increase the cost of your electricity, instead, you will receive significant savings with community solar.

      How is my subscription size determined and what if my usage changes?

      Our Community Solar Specialists analyze your annual electricity usage and use this to determine the appropriate subscription rate. We understand your electricity needs may change and can adjust your subscription to maximize your savings at any time.

      What if I move or need to cancel?

      Oftentimes, your solar subscription can move with you, we want you to continue to save money in your new home!

      If for any reason we can't move your subscription to your new home, you can still take advantage of our referral program and recommend a new customer to take your place.
