LET’S SAVE WITH COMMUNITY SOLAR
Did you know you can save more each month while giving back to the environment? Community solar is a roofless solar energy program that lowers your electricity bills while empowering you to support renewable energy goals. Households and businesses that sign up can access the benefits of solar without having to install a solar array onto their rooftops.
Residential
Community solar is a great option for homeowners, households who don’t have a rooftop, renters, as well as individuals who live in shared housing.
Commercial
When your business subscribes to a community solar project, you can offset a portion of your business’s electric bill.
Public
Buildings can also support these clean energy initiatives by subscribing to a local community solar project.
Partnerships
We welcome companies and communities to partner with us to bring a community solar program to your organization.
How Does Community Solar Work?
Community solar provides savings on electricity costs through subscribing a portion of a large solar farm to businesses, individual households or other organizations. In return, the subscribers receive bill credits on their electricity bill for their share of the solar farm. OYA Renewables helps our subscribers save up to 10% each month.
Comparing Your Solar Options
We often recommend solar first to many businesses, non-profits and households as the easiest and least risky option to get started with renewable energy. There are no initial outlays and no rooftop installation – we take care of building and operating the large-scale community solar project. Learn more below about which option works best for you.
