Frequently Asked Questions (Community Solar)
Community solar is a different model for solar energy. Instead of installing solar on your own home or property, community solar allows many people to come together and receive power from a larger solar array. Traditional residential solar systems require a large upfront investment, an ideal sunny location, and homeownership. Through this Community Solar initiative, HG&E partnered with a solar developer to offer benefits from the solar systems to residential customers.
