What makes this possible?
In 2019, Maine expanded the Net Energy Billing program to help reach clean energy goals and pass renewable energy savings to residents.
Subscribe to a local solar farm and receive energy credits at 15% below utility rates.
📋 What you'll need to enroll
✓ A recent copy of your electric bill
✓ A preferred payment method (credit card or bank account)
How it works:
We build community solar farms across Maine, delivering clean, accessible energy to everyone.
We send the power produced from these projects into the grid and receive solar credits.
When you subscribe, solar credits reduce your electric bill. You then pay us a discounted amount for those credits.
The result? You save up to 15% on your total annual electric costs — no signup or cancellation fees.

Why community solar?
Save money
Thanks to Maine's energy policy, subscribers are guaranteed to save on the energy produced by their share of the solar farm.
Help the planet
Community solar farms can power thousands of homes without releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.
No hassles or surprises
There's no equipment to buy and no change to your discount. This is not 3rd party supply, so your savings are guaranteed.
Local energy --> local jobs
Your subscription reduces Maine's reliance on outside energy sources, creating local jobs and supporting energy independence.
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.
What does it cost & how much money will I save?
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.
What happens if I move?
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.
Who can join a solar farm?
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.
Can I enroll in a solar farm before it goes live?
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.
How are credits applied? To the entire bill or just the supply portion?
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.
