Benefits are not immediate. Signing up for Community Solar today reserves your place on a future solar farm. As soon as a spot opens up, we'll add you to that farm, and that's when you'll begin to see Community Solar credits applied to your utility account. There's nothing you need to do in the meantime — we'll keep you informed about your status with updates sent straight to your inbox.

It’s free to enroll in Nexamp Community Solar. You only pay us for the credits generated at a discount.

The billing process has two steps. First, your share of the solar farm's output is calculated and credited to your utility account as a negative line item—this lowers the amount you owe to your utility provider for that month.

Then, Nexamp bills you for the value of these credits, minus your 15% discount*. For example, if your solar credits are worth $100 and you have a 15% discount, you would save $100 on your utility bill but only pay Nexamp $85. It's similar to purchasing a $100 prepaid gift card for your utility costs at the price of $85.

No. Your power will continue to be delivered by your current utility provider. What we do is supply our energy into their grid. If you ever experience an issue or a power outage, you'll receive the same service from the same team you always have.

You always have the option to change your share of the farm or to cancel without penalty, with 90 days written notice.

Please reach out to us as soon as possible!
