Community Solar for Small Business: No Roof, No Problem
Many small businesses lease their space or have roofs unsuitable for solar. Community Solar allows these businesses to subscribe to a local solar farm and receive guaranteed bill credits.
1. Guaranteed Savings (10-20%)
Unlike rooftop solar, which requires an investment, Community Solar is a subscription service. Businesses typically receive a 10% to 20% discount on the solar energy they subscribe to compared to utility rates.
2. No Maintenance or Installation Risks
Since the solar farm is offsite and managed by a third party, your business carries zero technical risk. There is no roof penetrating, no insurance changes, and no maintenance required.
3. Flexible Terms for Renters
Community solar subscriptions are often portable. If your small business moves to a new location within the same utility zone, your solar credits can usually follow you to the new address.
