Why should I subscribe to community solar with Neighborhood Sun?

We are a Certified B Corp and community-centric company, offering locally-generated community solar at a cost-saving rate, helping you to reduce your electricity costs while supporting renewable energy.

To put it simply, it saves you money and helps prevent pollution at no cost to you, so the better question is... why wouldn't you want to subscribe?

Did you know, only about 20% of Americans can access rooftop solar? Community solar eliminates the traditional barriers to solar, such as cost, location, and homeownership, enabling local residents and businesses to access clean energy by subscribing to a share of the energy generated by nearby solar projects that are local to your very own community.

Utilities make sure you receive your share of clean energy through the grid at a discounted rate. All you have to do is subscribe to reserve your share of a community solar farm through Neighborhood Sun, so you can start saving on each monthly electric bill. Neighborhood Sun is a local, Maryland-based Certified B Corporation dedicated to using business as a force for good. By providing access to community solar subscriptions, we have saved its subscribers across 7+ states more than $6 Million on electricity bills while enabling them to support clean, locally generated solar electricity.

Neighborhood Sun also has longstanding partnerships with local community organizations and nonprofits like the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and MOM’s Organic Market, allowing it to donate more than $25,000 to beloved organizations across the communities it served in 2022 alone. Neighborhood Sun earned the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2022 Inclusive Solar Outreach Award for its community-based efforts to serve rural and low-income households.

Neighborhood Sun’s Solar Helps Advance Resident Equality (S.H.A.R.E.™) Program, coupled with strategic community partnerships and advocacy for more equitable state policies, has positioned it as a leader when it comes to addressing barriers for Low- and Moderate-Income subscribers.
