What is a Solar Garden?

Community Solar Gardens are centrally-located solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that provide electricity to participating subscribers. Due to their large size, they are able to serve sometimes thousands of subscribers.

What Is Community Solar?

SunShare Community Solar is an easy, affordable way for you to enjoy clean, renewable energy. In 2010, Colorado passed the nationally first-of-its kind Community Solar Gardens Act (HB 1342) to encourage the development of solar gardens so more Coloradans can choose solar energy where they previously couldn’t if they were renters, lived in an apartment, their roof wasn’t suitable for panels, or it was too expensive.

Instead of putting panels on your roof, we build large solar projects called community solar gardens with thousands of panels. You subscribe to a portion of the energy produced in the community solar garden, along with many other residents who share your commitment to renewable energy. Your utility continues delivering your energy and you receive solar credits on your electricity bill. It’s that easy.
