Will the energy from community solar be cheaper than what I pay now?

Will the energy from community solar be cheaper than what I pay now?

It should be! But, check the agreement from the provider and make sure you know what the cost per kilowatt-hour will be now, and what it could be in the future. There are several likely options for the price:

  • It will go up by a certain percent each year.
  • It will go up in the future but always stay less than the current cost of utility energy by a certain percent.
  • It will stay the same for the entire contract.
