Although community solar is a fairly new method of generating energy, it has found it’s feet in 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Community solar generally occupies leased land, allowing for easier return to its original state. Also, it enables equal access to the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy, regardless of the physical attributes or ownership status of an individual’s home or business. In other words, if you can’t install solar directly on your property, community solar is a great option for accessing the savings and other benefits solar provides.
