What is community solar?
Solar savings without installing solar panels
Community solar allows renters and homeowners to benefit from solar energy generated at local solar farms.
How it works:
1. A household subscribes to a share of a local solar farm
2. That solar energy generates credits
3. Credits are applied directly to their ComEd electricity bill
4. The household pays a reduced supply cost each month
Key Benefits:
- Free to enroll
- No installation required
- No credit checks
- Cancel anytime
- Immediate monthly savings
