How It Works

What is Community Solar?

A new way to go solar.

Community solar lets you tap into the benefits of solar energy without needing to install panels on your own roof. Instead, you subscribe to a local solar farm which generates power for the grid, giving you access to discounted electricity. It's a simple way to enjoy clean energy, save on utility costs, and support sustainability—without the barriers of conventional home solar. 

​What Then?​
​Cascadia sizes your subscription in coordination with your utility based on your historical energy usage. Customers receive their solar credits, and also pay their discounted subscription fee, on their regular utility bill—no extra account setup, no separate billing, no unnecessary hassle. 
​
​​The Best Part?​
Solar credits work like money back on your utility bill. Your subscription fee gives you access to those credits and is always less than the amount you receive back, ensuring you save on the solar portion of your bill.
