Description

~ A solar array is installed in America every two minutes, driving energy savings to American families and allowing them to participate in the renewable energy revolution. ~

Still, nearly 80 percent of us can’t install rooftop solarand there’s no single cause. Many look into installing solar on their homes, only to discover that they can't. Sometimes a tree is shading their home, or they have poor rooftop orientation or structural problems. Others have trouble paying upfront installation costs, or are renters or condo-owners. Some simply don’t have the right FICO score to participate in solar financing programs.

Solstice was founded on the belief that every household in the United States can be powered by affordable renewable energy. Community solar allows residents subscribe to a shared solar farm in their area and receive savings on their utility bill without any upfront cost or rooftop installation.

Community solar can address market obstacles and bring solar to every American. Solstice works to make enrolling in your local community solar farm as simple and straightforward as possible.
