This video focuses on Community Solar in New York, but provides a simple overview of Community Solar in general, applicable to any state. Please keep in mind that discounts and billing vary by state and utility.
Community solar works a little differently depending on your utility, but the signup, billing, and savings flow follows the same basic path.
How it works. Yes, it really is that simple.
Solar Farm
The solar farm captures this energy and converts it into consumable electricity.
Electric Grid
This electricity is then delivered to your local power grid that powers your home.
Your Home
Your home receives energy from your utility as usual.
Electric Bill
The solar credits generated on your behalf appear directly on your electric bill.
Billing. It’s that easy.
Your utility bill and your community solar credits work together. These are the key things customers usually want to understand.
The solar credits will appear directly on your electricity bill, offsetting a portion or all of your energy consumption.
You will continue to receive your electricity bill from your utility with a credit line showing the solar credits applied to your bill, as well as a monthly bill from Solar Simplified for the discounted solar credits.
Solar Simplified will apply the full value of the solar credits to your original electricity charges. You'll pay your utility less and see guaranteed savings for every solar credit we've applied toward your bill. (Savings vary by state and utility)
