How Community Solar Works

1. Subscribe to an upcoming solar farm in your community

2. Once it's built, clean energy flows into your utility grid

3. Receive community solar credits for your share of the energy on your utility bill*

*Credits will appear on your utility bill 2-3 billing cycles after the farm goes live. Once you receive the credits, you’ll start to pay Nexamp at the discounted amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to install solar panels on my roof?

Nope. We build and maintain the panels on our nearby solar farm. You don’t have to build, install or hook up a thing.

How does it lower my electricity costs?

Your allocated share of the solar farm earns you dollar credits as it generates power. You’ll pay Nexamp for those credits but at a 20% discount, and they’ll automatically be applied to the supply portion of your monthly electric bill.

For example, let’s say the supply cost on your bill is $100. You’ll receive a $100 credit on your bill from Nexamp and you would pay us $80 for the credit on your electric bill, reducing your cost.

Does this mean I no longer receive power from my local utility?

No. Your power will still be delivered to your home by the same company – we’ll just feed our energy into their grid. If there’s ever a problem or outage, you’ll get the exact same service from the exact same people.

Do I get two bills?

Yes (for now). We’ll send you a monthly statement for your share of the farm, and you’ll keep getting your regular electric bill (minus your earned credits). You can sign up for automatic bill pay, which can help alleviate any extra work.

How do I get started?

All you need is your zip code. If you’re eligible, we’ll reach out to chat more about your eligibility, and ask for your utility account number or a copy of your electric bill so we can see your usage and determine the size of your allocation.

When will I start seeing my bill credits?

You should start seeing credits on your utility bill 2-3 months after your project goes live. Nexamp is currently developing multiple solar farms across the state of Illinois and by enrolling now, you are reserving your spot in one of these solar farms before they fill to capacity. We’ll keep you updated with project updates as we approach your project going live!

What’s the catch?

No catch. We believe in doing right by people and, well, the world. We’ll never lock you into an annual contract, never charge you any upfront fees, and never charge you to walk away—if you don’t like the service, you can cancel without penalty at any time.

A trusted provider

The flexibility is fantastic...It's been easy. That's what we expected, and that's what we got.
