Community Solar

What is community solar?

Community solar lets you take advantage of solar energy without having to install panels on your own property. This option works for both renters and homeowners who have an electricity account. You simply subscribe to a portion of a solar system that’s located offsite, and in return, you receive credits on your electricity bill based on how much power that system generates. It’s a great way to save on energy without the hassle of installing anything at your home.

How is income eligibility determined?

There are three options available to determine household income eligibility.

Option 1a: Proof of enrollment in another income-eligible program. Provide documentation of approval or current enrollment within the last 12 months in one of the income-eligible programs listed below. This documentation must be issued by the program and include the program name, recipient name, address, and date issued.

View the list of income-eligible programs.

Option 1b: Household is in an Income-Eligible Census Tract and has 80% or less AMI. This option is only available to those subscribing to an ILSFA Community Solar project. The online tool can check if your address is in an Income-Eligible Census Tract. Also, check the income tool to see if your household qualifies.

Option 2: Income verification through a credit reporting agency. Provide basic personal information such as name, DOB, and address for each adult household member to the Program Administrator. This will be entered into a credit reporting agency’s secure portal. In some circumstances, it may require providing your social security number. The credit reporting agency will provide your income history for the last 12 months to the Program Administrator.

Please note utilizing this option does not affect your credit score.

Option 3: Submitting an Income Affidavit. The Income Affidavit is for adult household members that have cash income, no income, or income that is not otherwise documented on paystubs, statements, letters, etc. The Income Affidavit can only be used in limited circumstances and cannot be used if you are able to utilize Option 1 or Option 2.
