Your child attended the 2023 Maine Career Fair recently and learned about the unlimited career opportunities in the renewable energy industry. Renewable energy is currently the fastest growing industry in the world!! Maine Community Solar is the leading Maine-based and Maine-owned solar broker. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to educate our youth on the importance of renewable energy efforts in relation to global warming. Your child learned that community solar is a state initiative which uses our tax dollars to provide a way for all Mainers to power our homes with solar energy. Without having to insure, maintain or install any type of hardware/solar panels AND without having to come out of pocket. The community solar program is completely free for all Mainers!! Once you subscribe, you will be rewarded with an ongoing 15% discount on your electricity bill and a $50 VISA gift card will be mailed to your home. If you would like assistance during the enrollment process or have questions please contact us at Maine Community Solar or call us at 207-888-2240 extension 126.

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

Public benefit corporation

Ampion’s mission is to make it easy for everyone to access clean, renewable energy. As a Public Benefit Corporation, our success is defined by how well we serve the greater good, not just the profits we earn.

Still have questions?

That’s ok, Community Energy is new to most people. Lots of our customers had questions before they signed up so we compiled a list of some of the most common questions below.

No. Your current utility will still service your account and deliver energy to your home or business. Any energy consumption that isn’t covered by your energy credits will be paid to the utility at their price.

There is no cost to join our community solar program. You will receive a monthly invoice for the energy credits, produced by your solar farm and applied to your utility bill, at a discounted rate.

If you are moving to a residence that is still in the area of eligibility, you can take your subscription with you! As long as you reside in the same utility service territory, you can continue to be a part of your project.

You can start enrolling here. The sign up process takes about five minutes and you will need a copy of your electric bill.

The short answer is almost anyone! So long as you have an active utility account, you’re eligible. There’s no special equipment to buy or install. Don’t own your property? No problem. Homeowners, renters, places of worship, and small businesses can all support and benefit from Community Solar.

Yes. Subscribing to a solar farm while it is being developed is a way to reserve capacity for yourself. You will not be charged a subscription fee and you will not receive any Community Solar credits on your bill during the construction phase.

The Community Solar credits from your solar farm allotment are automatically applied to your monthly utility bill, reducing the total amount due. Bill credits offset all electricity costs: supply and delivery.

If you use more electricity than was generated on your behalf, the utility will invoice you for the difference. Use less electricity than your allotment generated and you may not owe the utility any money that month. Any remaining credits will be banked for future use subject to terms of the utility tariff.

Seasons have an impact on solar energy production. In the summer months, with longer and sunnier days, solar farms produce more electricity. In the winter, solar farms tend to produce less.
