FACT: If you do not have a

Community Solar Membership

you are overpaying for

your electricity every month.

Community Solar Members typically subscribe to a portion of the energy generated by a solar array at an offsite location, and receive an electric bill credit for electricity generated by their share of the community solar system.

Community solar is a great option for people who are unable to install solar panels on their roofs because they are renters, or home owners that want to avoid the expense of installing solar panels, or because their business rents space but pays for electricity every month.

Community solar is rapidly growing across the country. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

The New York

Public Service Commission

In 2015 The New York State Public Service Commission Launches Community Solar in New York State.

Deep Dive

N.Y. Public Service Commission Expands Community Solar/ Community Distributed Generation​​​​

~ The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted a Clean Energy Standard (CES) in August 2016, instituting a timeline for the load serving entities* (LSE) a.k.a. Utility Companies, in the state to procure at least 50% of the electricity consumed in the state from renewable energy resource.

~ In 2020, the CES was expanded to meet the Climate Act's requirements, which set a goal of achieving 70% renewablys by 2030.

~ New York’s Clean Energy Standard (CES) is designed to fight climate change, reduce harmful air pollution, and ensure a diverse and reliable low carbon energy supply.​​​​

~ CES is proceeding on a Motion of the NYS Public Service Commission to Implement a Large-Scale Renewable Program and a Clean Energy Standard.

~ Large Scale Renewables include, Land Based Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels, Land Based Wind and Off-Shore Wind turbines.

~ The Public Service Commission regulates and oversees the electric, gas, water,and communication industries in New York as part of the Department of Public Service.

*Community Solar Basics; What is Community Solar?

"NYSERDA"

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority

NYSERDA: Community Distributed Generation (CDG), also known as community solar, allows customers to access solar energy without the need for onsite solar generation.

Deep Dive

NYSERDA; helps New Yorkers reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, save money, and use renewable energy.

~ Community Distributed Generation (CDG), also known as community solar, is a way for utility customers to subscribe to renewable energy projects in their area and receive credits transferred from the solar farm to their electricity bill guaranteeing them a monthly savings.

~ Subscribers "share the profits" (profits = CDG bill credits) from the electricity being generated from the projects solar panels and sold to the power grid.

~ The CDG credits are distributed evenly and show up as a community distributed generation credits on members monthly electricity bills. 

~ New York's electricity regulator separated the "right to claim" to be using solar electricity from community solar. This allows the utility to pay more for the electricity, which means that community solar customers get more savings on their electric bill. 

~ The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) provides information and analysis, funding, and programs to help New Yorkers reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, save money, and use renewable energy.

average between 5-10 megawatts. A megawatt is enough energy to power about 200 homes for a day.

Community Distributed Generation (CDG)

Community distributed generation allows an electricity generation facility, like a solar farm, to share the benefits of clean energy production with participants. Through a subscription, residential and business customers can join to receive monthly credits from the electricity generated at the facility, lowering their monthly bill, without the need to install or maintain equipment on your property.
