- Community solar projects are remote, meaning that there is no equipment installed on your home. The solar energy that the project produces is sent directly into your local power grid.
- Community solar projects have multiple subscribers, each given their own share of the project’s total energy output. Subscribers must have the same utility the project is connected to. The size of your share is determined by your historic energy usage.
- Utilities track the clean solar energy sent to the grid using something we call a Solar Credit. Solar credits represent the clean energy produced and are distributed to a project’s subscribed customers every month.
- Solar credits offset your electric bill charges, reducing what you pay the utility. Our community solar subscribers pay Altus for their monthly solar credits at a discounted rate, this is how you save on your electric bill!
- As a subscribed customer, you will continue to see savings on your utility bill for the lifetime of the project, or until cancellation.
