All of our projects include these great benefits.

No Installation or Buy-in Fees

This is not rooftop solar! No solar panels are installed on your roof or property, and there are no buy-in fees to subscribe to community solar.

Community Solar is Portable

If you move and you are still a customer of the same utility, your subscription moves with you! If you move outside the utility, you can cancel free and clear.

Keep Your Supply Contract

If you have power through a retail electric supplier, you can still sign up for one of our community solar projects. No need to cancel your supply contract - you’re all set!

Enterprise

Community solar allows you and your neighbors to receive all the benefits of renewable energy without the cost or hassle of installing panels on your own property. 100% of the project's clean energy goes into the local grid system, is used by your community, and saves subscribers money on their electricity bills. Act fast; this small system will fill up quickly!

OK Community Solar

In response to the 2008 closure of the Great Northern Paper Mill, Our Katahdin, a nonprofit organization determined to promote community and economic development in the Katahdin region, formed and purchased the site. Then, it invested more than $8 million into critical infrastructure for the 1,400-acre property. One of the first development projects on the Mill site is a 7.5 MWdc ground-mounted solar system, which will generate over 8 million kWh annually. The community solar project will provide utility bill savings for residential and small commercial customers in the region. Join our community solar project today and support Our Katahdin's mission of a resilient economy in the region!

How it works

When you sign up for a community solar project, you will receive credits each month on your electricity bill. These credits go toward offsetting the cost of your bill, allowing you to save money and contribute to a more sustainable future. It's that simple. Here are the three easy steps to make it happen.

Step 1

Provide Basic Details

Fill out a subscription form with basic details (name, email, etc.) and have a recent electricity bill handy. As you continue your registration, you’ll have to enter your utility account number and energy usage information so we can determine the right amount of the solar project to allocate to your bill.

Step 2

Access Dashboard

Once you’ve subscribed, you will be given access to a personal dashboard where you can see the project's solar energy production, your document library (contract, bills, etc.) and your monthly savings.

Step 3

See Savings

You will start seeing savings on your electricity bill a month after your community solar project becomes operational.
