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)

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
