HOW IT WORKS
You subscribe to a Sunwealth community solar project in your area — no upfront costs, credit checks, or cancellation fees
As the solar panels send electricity to the grid, your local utility puts credits on your bill to reduce your overall costs
Sunwealth charges you for those credits at a discount, resulting in 17% or more in annual electricity savings
It’s really that simple! Sign up today.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Community solar is a way for individuals to benefit from clean energy without installing solar on their own property. Individuals can subscribe to a solar project in their area and receive monthly credits that reduce their electric bill. It’s a great way to access clean energy and save money at the same time!
-
Once the project is producing energy, your utility company (e.g., Eversource) will put credits on your electric bill, reducing the amount you owe to them. Then, Sunwealth will charge you for those credits at a 20-25% discount. In other words, if your electric bill is around $120, you would receive a credit around $100 from your community solar subscription, leaving you with a $20 electric bill. Sunwealth would then bill you for around $75.
Costs before community solar: $120
Costs after community solar: $95
Savings: $25

We analyze your last 12 months of electricity usage and match it with the appropriate percentage of solar production. Sunwealth generally undersizes your allocation by 10-15% to ensure we are not over-crediting your account. Please note that your solar credit allocation may be higher or lower depending on the month. See below for more information.
-
This is most likely due to seasonality. In the summer months, our solar panels generate more electricity (and therefore more credits). In the summer season, it’s possible that the solar credits will outweigh your actual electric bills costs, resulting in a negative balance. You will use these credits in the winter months when our panels generate less electricity. If you have questions, please reach out to Sunwealth’s Community Solar Team at communitysolar@sunwealth.com

No, you can cancel at any time without a fee. Sunwealth will process your cancellation request within 30 days and will not charge you for any credits received after 30 days.
