Community solar is the easy, affordable way to benefit from clean, renewable energy. There’s no rooftop installation; you simply subscribe. With community solar, you’ll make a meaningful difference for generations to come. Our friendly Community Solar Consultants can estimate your subscription size and calculate your environmental offset equivalencies just based on your average monthly electricity bill. Enrollment is quick and easy, with no upfront costs and no need for a home visit.
And right now, you can make a difference while you social distance — when you video chat with one of our Community Solar Consultants to learn more about SunShare and community solar, we’ll give you a $20 gift card to a local business. PLUS, when you sign up for SunShare and secure your spot in a live garden, you’ll earn ANOTHER $100 to that local business! It’s a win-win-win — support our local business, support another local business in your community, and get up to $120 for yourself!

Billing: Once your community solar garden is active, you'll receive two (2) bills every month ─
one from SunShare and one from Xcel Energy. The net difference of the two bills will always be
$0!
Eligibility: Your participation requires either Autopay Enrollment or a Credit Check. If you have
elected Credit Check, the check will be performed upon receipt of your signed documents. If you
have elected Autopay, you will be automatically enrolled in Autopay for your first SunShare bill
after you have been placed into a community solar garden.
Agreement Term: The length of your SunShare agreement is simply the length of the
agreement between SunShare and Xcel Energy to deliver solar energy onto the power grid.
This is also the length of time for which you are guaranteed to receive Bill Credits from Xcel
Energy on your utility bill.
SunShare Community Solar Rate and Bill Credit Rate: These two rates are the same, but
you will receive two separate bills. The SunShare Community Solar Rate is the rate you will pay
to SunShare for each kilowatt hour of electricity the community solar garden generates on your
behalf. The Bill Credit Rate is the rate you will receive on your Xcel Energy utility bill for each
kilowatt hour of electricity the community solar garden generates on your behalf. Typically, the
bill credit rate changes every year, and your community solar rate will be adjusted to match it.
Regardless of the Bill Credit rate, your total out-of-pocket net cost will always be $0!
Cancellation Options: You can cancel with 90 days’ prior written notice with no penalty.
