Check and see what the array is currently producing! 
Please note: the gauge does show production in February, this was when we were testing for maintenance and reliability. Any sharp drops in production during the month of February were caused by maintenance and construction that occurred.
About the program
NEW Price!: Only $780 a module! That's less than $2.00/watt (DC)!
Buy 10 subscriptions, get 1 FREE! Buy 20, get 2 FREE!
Module info: 147 kW utility-scale solar array is comprised of 524 - 440 watt (DC) high quality modules.
Production: The entire array is expected to produce over 250,000 kilowatt hours annually!
Details:
- The program runs March 1, 2017 to February 28, 2037.
- Subscriptions are still available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The sooner you subscribe the more credits you'll receive on your bill!
Tax Credits: Unfortunately we are not CPAs or lawyers. For questions related to tax credits, members should consult their tax advisor for tax advice specific to their situation.
How it works
- Monthly bill credit for each subscription based on the real-output of array for that month.
- One subscription would benefit from the energy generation of one module (1:1).
- Any credits that are leftover each month will be carried into the next billing period (but will expire at the end of the 20 year program).
Community Solar vs. Personal Solar
Installing your own solar array
- Will cost between an estimated $2.80 - $3.80 per installed watt (DC). Cost does not include the maintenance, repairs, or insurance costs.
- If you aren't typically home during the day when the sun is high and your solar array is producing the most energy, the energy not being used in your home goes back out on to the grid at our avoided cost rate which is lower than the residential rate.
- You'll need to find space on your property that is away from any trees (i.e. your roof or on the ground).
- Solar array is a permanent fixture on your property.
Our utility scale community solar array
- The purchase price of a subscription is less than $2.00 per watt (DC).
- Regardless if or when you are home, you still receive the benefit from our solar array at a rate that is comparable to our residential rate.
- Our utility scale solar array is a much larger system than what most consumers would put on their property and is predicted to have a higher energy output per module than the average personal solar module.
- Subscriptions are transferrable.
- No need to find space on your property. Our solar array is located on a tree-free property!
