What should I know about a project and its operators?

Community solar projects will be owned by a variety of different types of organizations for different purposes. Here are some questions to consider as you make your decision:

  • Who owns the project? Is it community-owned?
  • Who operates it and how long have they been in business?
  • Is there a performance guarantees on the energy produced?
  • What insurance is in place to protect subscribers?
  • Are there any local benefits from the project, like jobs created?
