How does community solar work?
1. Link your utility bill with a solar project
Connect your existing electric account with a nearby solar project. You just need a copy of your recent utility bill. Enroll online in under 2 minutes, completely free.
2. Start generating solar power
When the sun shines, the solar farm generates power and feeds it to your utility’s electric grid on your behalf, earning you credits.
3. Receive solar credits
Your utility bill is credited for the amount of solar power that was generated for you during this billing cycle, reducing what you owe the utility (see example below).
4. Pay for your solar credits
After your reduced utility bill arrives, you pay your solar project directly for your solar credits at the guaranteed discount of 10-25% (discount depends on state, utility, customer status and project).

What is Community Solar?
Community Solar, also known as Net Energy Billing (NEB), is enabled by Maine’s Renewable Energy Program and is designed to promote the expansion of solar production in ME, as a way to meet aggressive clean energy targets over the next few years.
With community solar, eligible solar projects receive a credit for each kWh of electricity they generate. Utility customers in CMP & Versant’s territory may sign up with the owner of a project to receive a share of these credits generated by a project. This results in cost savings for helping green the power grid, including for renters and lower income customers, who in many cases, cannot install their own solar systems.
Community Solar is the EASIEST way to go solar, reduce your carbon emissions, and save money.

Enyel came to my door with integrity and kindness. I had credits already but he locked me in for a nicer supplier rate nonetheless. I'll be sure to recommend him to family and friends.

Wow Taylor was the best!!! Highly recommend community solar! We couldn’t afford to put the panels on our roof, but are excited to see a credit back from the solar farm. Thanks Taylor, you were one in a million as I never do stuff like this but I’m glad I did.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was so against changing anything that had to do with my utilities, especially something that had to do with renewable energy. I am one that says if something’s not broken don’t fix it! James took 20 minutes out of his time explaining how things worked, and that it would actually be saving me money! I was extremely skeptical at first, [...] Read More

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to start receiving solar credits?
Community solar credits will start reducing your utility bill about 2 to 3 billing cycles after enrollment, if the project is live. If a project is under construction, it may take 3-8 months for credits to start, but rest assured, your spot is reserved! Your first e-statement from the solar project will be after your credited utility bill arrives.
Can I transfer the program if I move?
You can transfer the program if you move within the approved region for the project. Simply call or email the developer to confirm. If your consumption is much higher or lower at the next property, you may ask the developer to readjust your solar credit allocation.
What if I move out of the area or wish to cancel? (ie. getting solar on the home)
There are no exit fees for residential consumers. Please provide 90 days (or as much as possible) notice to the solar project ahead of a move/cancellation so they can assign solar credits to other customers and stop allocating them towards your account.
Once you move, contact Finray Solar to see if we have a solar farm with availability in your new area.
How are credits calculated?
The solar farm will allocate credits for 90% of your historical consumption with your utility (based on past 12 months). If your usage increases (ie. you buy an EV), you may contact the solar project and ask for them to recalculate your share of credits. If you don’t use up all your credits in a given month, they will roll over to the following month.
Annually, your utility will provide a monetary credit for the kWh not applied to prior bills at the avoided cost of power.
