Subscription Details
-
Access to 1 solar share
By enrolling in SharePower™ community solar, you are joining your neighbors in being part of an equitable, clean energy solution. Your subscription is for a “solar share” (3kW) of a solar array that may range in size from 25 kW to 2.5 MW. Your share will cover approximately 50% of an average household’s monthly electricity usage.
-
Receive a credit on your existing electric bill for energy produced by your solar share
Once your subscription is activated, you will begin receiving credits on your monthly electric bill for the amount of energy produced by your solar share. The amount of the bill credit may vary each month depending on weather conditions which can impact how much energy is produced by the solar project.
-
Fixed subscription fee for up to 2 years
Your SharePower™ agreement locks in your subscription fee for the length of your contract- either one or two years. If electricity rates increase in the future (which they often do), your savings will only increase!
-
Make solar savings available to Empowered households
Groundswell's SharePower™ program guarantees that every one of our community solar projects is sharing some portion of power generated with our neighbors in need. Thanks to your participation, Empowered, or income-qualified, households receive a solar share from this project at no cost; helping them to cut their electric bill nearly in half.
Groundswell is putting "community" in community solar by creating a meaningful way for neighbors to help neighbors and lessen their impact on the environment.
-
No Long-term Contracts
You won't be asked to sign lengthy contracts as offered by other providers. Instead of being committing to a five to fifteen-year agreement, Groundswell allows you to choose from either a one or two year contract agreement which you can cancel at any time without penalty.
What is Community Solar?
Community solar provides the benefits of clean energy generated by the sun as an alternative to those who prefer not to, or are unable to, install solar panels on their home or property. Community solar projects vary in size and can be built either on the ground or on a rooftop and produce enough clean energy to share among multiple people who subscribe or enroll to receive the electricity produced by the project.
