Community Solar for Schools
What Community Solar Is
Community solar allows a school district to subscribe to a share of a local solar project. The district continues to receive electric service as it does today, and credits typically appear on the district’s utility bill based on the subscription.
Why It Matters for Schools
- Creates a savings pathway that does not require onsite construction
- Can be easier to evaluate and approve when terms, timing, and responsibilities are clear
- Supports predictable budgeting when paired with good verification, contract guardrails, and follow-through
What We Handle
- Territory and account fit check
- Documentation checklist, minimal and clear
- Negotiate contract guardrails, especially sizing and termination clauses
- Enrollment coordination and confirmation
- Ongoing tracking so credits show up as expected, and issues get resolved
What We Confirm in Writing
- Enrollment steps and who signs
- Timing expectations
- What the district will be asked for, and when
- Points of contact and escalation paths
