Start Saving NowQuestions we hear from business owners
It depends on your electricity usage. The 20% discount applies to the solar credits allocated to your account. A business with a $1,500/month CMP bill can expect to save roughly $200 to $300/month, or $2,400 to $3,600/year. Larger users save more. Your actual savings appear directly on your CMP or Versant statement.
Yes. Community solar has nothing to do with your building or your landlord. It works through your CMP or Versant utility account. If your business pays the electricity bill, you are eligible — regardless of whether you own or lease the space.
Yes. Community solar credits are applied to the delivery/distribution portion of your bill, handled by CMP or Versant regardless of your supply provider. Your competitive supplier arrangement stays the same.
No. You can cancel at any time with no penalty. If your business moves, closes a location, or wants to stop for any reason, there is no cancellation fee and no obligation.
Yes. Each CMP or Versant account is enrolled separately. If your business has 3 locations with 3 accounts, you can enroll all 3 and savings apply to each independently.
Community solar credits appear as a reduction on your utility bill. You will also receive a separate monthly statement from RooflessSolar. Your accountant can treat these as standard utility expenses. There is no tax credit to claim — it is simply a lower electricity cost.
RooflessSolar is operated by Clean Energy Co, which built the first community solar project in the U.S. in 2010. We are BBB A+ accredited, an Inc. 5000 company, and have been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, and Bloomberg. Community solar is a regulated program under Maine energy policy.
There is not one. You pay for solar credits at a 20% discount, and those credits reduce your utility bill by more than what you paid. The net effect is always savings. You can cancel anytime. The solar farm generates credits regardless — we give businesses a guaranteed discount to subscribe to them.
