What is Community Solar?

Clearway Community Solar is a solar energy sharing program.

We create power in numbers and a collective difference through community support of a solar farm that generates solar energy for an entire area.

Clean solar energy from our solar farms is sent directly to the local power grid, and subscribers receive solar credits to help with their electricity costs.

At the foundation of our Community Solar farms are residents like you who help support clean power. It's never been easier to make a difference for the planet and for your electricity costs. Take a look at our community solar projects in New York, Minnesota, Illinois, and Massachusetts, including the gallery of solar farms in Massachusetts.
