Community Solar for New York State Residents

Save 10% On Your Normal Electricity Bill With Community Solar

Why Community Solar Here in Central New York?

Community solar gives New Yorkers a way to lower their electric bills — without needing to install solar panels at your home or business. Here’s how it works: Solar panels located in a field inject clean energy into the Utility Grid. The developers & owners of those solar farms need to direct those kilowatt-hours (kWh) to specific Utility account holders. You will keep your Utility company and your Utility Bill will still come every month. But now, the Utility Bill will show you that your Community Solar subscription has reduced your cost per kWh.

By choosing community solar, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support local green energy initiatives. There is ZERO cost to subscribe and Nickels Energy Solutions has already done the vetting to determine which Community Solar providers are legitimate.

Community Solar makes it easy to save on electricity without spending any money upfront or taking out any loans. Community Solar is the perfect solar solution for renters, roofs that are too old for solar panels, roofs that are too shady for optimal solar performance or for anyone that does not own solar panels today. Nickels Energy Solutions has already helped people & businesses sign up for Community Solar and save on their National Grid, NYSEG, or RG&E bills.

At Nickels Energy Solutions, our main focus is helping people save money using solar energy. If we determine that solar panels are not a worthy investment at your location, then Community Solar is the next best thing. In many cases, we can connect you with a solar farm offering 10% Utility Bill savings. This means that your cost per kWh from the Utility will decrease once you sign up. As Utility rates continue to increase, this is something that anyone with a Utility Bill needs to consider.
