What is happening
Community solar lets individuals, businesses, or organizations buy or subscribe to a “share” in a community solar project. It’s perfect for folks who can’t – or prefer not to – install panels on their own roof. When you join a community solar project, you receive a credit on your electric bill each month. The size of your share determines how much credit you receive.
West Virginians can’t participate in community solar until our lawmakers allow it. A recent poll indicated that 69% of West Virginians support community solar.
A report by the coalition West Virginians for Energy Freedom details how community solar would kick open the doors to new markets for solar. Enabling community solar programs here would:
- create thousands of local jobs,
- save millions per year on residential electricity bills, and
- generate hundreds of millions in new solar sales.
