Description (excerpt):
Community solar isn’t just delivering clean energy and consumer savings—it’s one of the most affordable and effective tools we have to drive local economic growth in America. At a time when utility bills are climbing and families are feeling the strain, community solar offers a faster, cheaper way to expand clean energy access—especially for those who need it most.
Unlike large-scale utility projects, community solar is uniquely positioned to be deployed quickly, at scale, and in communities that are often left behind. It brings affordable energy options directly to renters, small businesses, landowners, and low-to-moderate income families—helping lower monthly bills while building energy resilience. And it does all this without requiring major upfront costs from participants or taxpayers.
