What is Community Solar?

 Most of the energy in MA is created from natural gas. This causes price increases every winter given the limited pipeline capacity available to meet the needs of the state. 

By subscribing to solar farms, utility customers (including renters and low-income customers) can receive bill credits and cost savings for helping green the power grid. 

Community Solar is the BEST way to go solar, save money and help Massachusetts get cleaner, cheaper energy into the generation mix!

 

How does it work?

1. Link your electric bill to a solar farm

Connect your existing electric account with a nearby solar farm. You just need a copy of your recent utility bill. Enroll online in under 2 minutes, completely free.

2. Start generating solar power

When there is sunshine, the solar farm generates power and feeds it to your community’s electric grid.

3. Receive solar credits

Your utility bill is credited for the amount of solar energy that was generated for you during this billing cycle, reducing what you owe the utility (see example below).

4. Pay for your solar credits

A few weeks after your lower utility bill arrives, you pay your solar farm directly for your solar credits at the guaranteed discount of 10-15%.

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 adjust 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, NationalGrid/Eversource will provide a monetary credit for the kWh not applied to prior bills at the avoided cost of power.
