Solar Farms New York

What is community solar?

Community solar is a green energy option that brings the benefits of solar to renters, homeowners and other community members without the up-front costs of installing your own panels. Instead, solar panels are located at a nearby solar farm. You, your friends, your neighbors and local businesses can enroll with Solar Farms New York to receive discounted solar credits on your utility bill and support renewable energy in your community!

Why are there limited spaces?

Each solar farm produces enough renewable electricity for up to 450-600 households.

If a farm is full, you will be put on a waiting list until new farms are built.

How does the program work?

Enroll once, and your electricity account will be linked to our Solar Farms New York community solar farm. It’s an easy way to save money on your electricity bills. Solar power goes from the solar farm to the local utility grid, where it helps power your community with planet-friendly renewable energy. As a subscriber, you get a piece of the clean energy incentives in the form of discounted solar credits.

Do I need to own my home or apartment to participate?

Nope! Renters and homeowners alike have access to community solar savings — no solar panel installation necessary!

Do I keep my utility provider?

Yes! There is no change or disruption to your electricity service. Your utility provider will remain the same and continue to send a monthly bill. The only difference is, as a Solar Farms New York customer, you’ll automatically receive a 5% discount on the solar credits applied directly on your utility bill.

Exact savings will vary depending on your energy usage each month.

Do I need to install solar panels?

No, you don’t! The solar panels are all located at a New York solar farm managed by Solar Farms New York – not on your roof.

Are there any sign-up fees?

No, it’s FREE to enroll, with no upfront costs. If you choose to cancel for any reason, or move out of the eligible service area, there’s no fee to cancel.

Can I cancel if I change my mind?

Yes! If you wish to cancel for any reason, simply give 90 days notice and there are no cancellation fees. Please see your community solar agreement for additional terms and conditions.

How much can I save?

You will save 5% on the solar credits applied to your electricity bill. That can really add up month after month, year after year! Exact savings will vary by month based on your energy usage.

How will I see my guaranteed savings?

Each month, customers will see their discounted solar credits applied directly to their utility bill. This means Solar Farms New York customers receive only one consolidated bill from their utility that shows their dollar savings and 5% discount.

Where can I find my utility account number?

Your existing utility account number can be found on your utility bill or by signing into your utility account online.

Are you an electricity supplier (ESCO)?

No, we are a community solar developer, which is not the same as a third-party retail energy supplier. Instead, Solar Farms New York provides solar electricity to the local utility grid, and you get a credit for the value of the solar electricity allocated to your utility account.
