COMMUNITY SOLAR
Community Solar refers to a solar farm located within your electrical utility's service territory. This solar project generates utility bill credits based on the electricity produced, and as a subscriber, you'll receive a portion of these credits directly on your monthly electric bill, offsetting the charges.
