Whether you're a homeowner or a renter, you can now benefit from local New Jersey Community Solar farms. Community Solar gives you all the benefits of renewable power without installing any equipment or making changes to your existing utility. Tap into savings and reduce your carbon footprint by applying today.
Our community solar farms provide the clean power people want, without having to install expensive solar panels on their roofs. Whether you’re a homeowner or renter, you still get the savings.
Community Solar is a state-supported clean energy program that gives local businesses and residents shared access to solar and its benefits 100% virtually. By subscribing to a Community Solar project, you can reduce your carbon footprint and electricity costs without making any changes to your rooftop, home, or utility account. Community Solar is a great option for homeowners and renters alike who are interested in a flexible way to support clean energy.
Altus Power currently has community solar projects in 8 different states. We have projects operating in Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Maine.
New Jersey has transitioned to a Utility Consolidated Billing model. This means that once you are enrolled in Community Solar and you begin accumulating solar credits, you’ll receive just one consolidated bill from your existing electric utility provider. This bill will show your usual supply and delivery charges plus the adjusted solar discount on that same bill. The adjusted solar discount will be deducted from the total due to your electric utility provider each month. That means you will not receive a separate bill from Altus Power. Instead, the utility has already handled the adjustment to reflect the discount on the solar credits listed in your Altus Power contract.
For example, let’s say your electricity charges this month are $200 and you receive $10 in solar discounts after the adjustment. Your new total on your electric bill would be $190, which means you saved a total of $10 this month.
Households of four with income under $112,000 and households of two with income under $74,000 may be eligible for additional savings.

Altus Power develops Community Solar projects toward the goal of making renewable energy more accessible. Community Solar programs allow us to sell the energy we produce at a higher rate than we could have if we were just selling it directly to utilities, creating a win-win for Altus and our customers.
When customers subscribe, they will receive solar credits on their utility bill for the energy. The solar credits that customers receive are valued at a higher rate than the solar credits that Altus would directly receive. We share those profits with our customers by charging for the solar credits at a discount, leaving them with a portion of these solar credits. These remaining solar credits result in a savings on their utility bills.
