Community Solar

Syncarpha’s community solar program, Solar Gardens makes it simple for homeowners & renters to access solar energy directly from our locally developed solar projects without upfront investments or installing solar panels.

What Is

Community Solar

Community solar is a renewable energy program for homeowners and renters to support solar who otherwise can’t due to physical limitations on their home, lack of home ownership or financial ability to purchase solar panels. Solar Gardens community solar subscribers realize significant long-term savings on electricity by connecting their utility account to our local, shared solar projects.

With Solar Gardens by Syncarpha, there is no upfront cost to reserve a share of our solar projects’ production. When you sign up online, we do the work to connect your account, review your average electricity usage and allocate your share of solar accordingly. You will receive clean energy credits directly on your electric bill, lowering what you owe your utility each month.

Visit our Solar Gardens website to learn more or join over 10,000 of our neighbors in our support towards clean renewable energy while saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.
