Why does Altus Power offer me a discount?

Altus Power develops Community Solar projects toward the goal of making renewable energy more accessible. Community Solar programs allow us to sell the energy we produce at a higher rate than we could have if we were just selling it directly to utilities, creating a win-win for Altus and our customers.

When customers subscribe, they will receive solar credits on their utility bill for the energy generated by their subscription. The solar credits that customers receive are valued at a higher rate than the solar credits that Altus Power would directly receive. We share those profits with our customers by charging for the solar credits at a discount, leaving them with a portion of these solar credits. These remaining solar credits result in overall savings on electricity.
