At this point, whether you install panels on your house or participate in community solar, solar power generation is a premium product that's a bit more expensive than conventional power. In the near term, the primary benefit of solar energy generation is environmental — generating energy from the sun significantly reduces carbon emission and contributes to improving the health of our planet. In the longer term, the financial benefit of solar is that it locks in your energy cost at today's rate. As the cost of conventional power rates go up, the cost of participating in Solar Share remains the same. What's nice about this is that as the cost of conventional electric rates goes up, your Solar Share bill credits become more valuable.

For current Solar Share participants: Each solar panel within the array is estimated to produce approximately 37 kWh per month. Determine the percentage of your business's energy use you want to receive as a solar credit and multiply that by your average monthly energy use. For example, if you want 25% of your company's power use to be solar, and your average use is 1,600 kWh per month, you would license 11 panels (1600 x .25 = 400/37 = 10.8).
