Community Solar is Moving Maine Forward
Community solar is a powerful solution to provide every Mainer with access to solar energy.
Community solar provides homeowners, renters, and businesses equal access to the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy generation regardless of the physical attributes or ownership of their home or business. It expands access to solar, in particular low-to-moderate income customers most impacted by a lack of access, while building a stronger, distributed, and more resilient electric grid.
Affordable and Renewable
Renewable energy should be available to everyone, regardless of income. Community solar is growing in Maine, and that means more benefits at lower costs.
Local Projects, Local Benefits
Community solar projects are providing communities all over Maine with clean, renewable power – as well as the economic benefits of new energy infrastructure. This means better roads and schools, and lower property taxes.
Ending the Fossil Fuel Roller Coaster
Maine’s wild spikes in electric bills are the result of our dependence on natural gas and foreign-sourced fossil fuels. Conversion to community solar means affordability and stability for Maine families and businesses.
