Whether you rent or own your home, if you’re looking to reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, community solar may be a great option for you!
Community solar is a more accessible alternative to installing solar panels on your own home or property. Instead, members of a community can choose to buy solar energy generated from a larger solar array, often for a lower price than their regular electric bill. In nearby Holyoke, MA, the municipal energy utility offers FREE community solar to all residential electric customers, whether or not they own their residence. All they have to do is opt in! Community solar can bring renewable energy to those who may not be able to afford upfront investment in solar, or who don’t have the space on site (especially urban dwellers).
