Ampion is available to homeowners, renters and just about anyone who pays a utility bill, making it easy to take part in sustainable change and access real savings.
How Community Solar works
1
Sign up for free to become an Ampion member in as little as 5 minutes with your utility bill (to calculate your energy usage and savings)
2
Ampion matches you to a solar farm and assigns you a share of the Community Solar credits it generates based on your typical usage
3
The solar farm produces clean energy and delivers it to the grid, increasing the renewable energy available to your community and boosting sustainability
4
Community Solar credits are applied to your bill each month based on your share of the solar energy produced, reducing what you pay your utility
5
You pay for the Community Solar credits at a discounted rate, lowering your electricity bills and saving you money month after month
