For most people, the traditional approach to solar power involves buying a system of solar panels or leasing your rooftop to an outside company. Both options require a significant upfront investment and may come with lease options that can span 20 years. While home-based systems might be a good solution for some individuals and businesses, there is a third option available: Community Solar. Whether you own or rent, you may be eligible to leverage the financial savings and environmental benefits of Community Solar without investing anything or without installing equipment on your property.
