Community solar farms generate solar power, and subscribers get credits on their electric bill without needing solar panels on their property.
A group of individuals and businesses come together through a solar program to enroll in subscriptions to a solar farm. Each subscriber subscribes to a portion of the energy produced by a large solar array (which is a group of connected solar panels that work together to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity). Community solar farms are built and maintained by companies, such as Pivot Energy, that work with the utility company and subscribers to offer these programs.
The solar array is connected to the utility’s electrical grid, and subscribers receive credits on their electricity bills for their share of the power produced. This setup requires no installation or maintenance on the subscriber's property, making it an accessible option for those who cannot install solar panels on their roofs.
