Important Details
National Grid subscribers will be asked to send Neighborhood Sun a complete copy of their National Grid electric bill
Community Solar subscription is NOT an agreement with a 3rd Party Energy Supply Company. Neighborhood Sun does not discount your kwh rate but instead customers receive savings from solar credits
Community Solar is a state program overseen by NYSERDA
It’s a twenty-five (25) year agreement, which you can cancel anytime without penalty by simply giving a ninety (90) day Notice to Cancel.
The savings is 10% off the value of credits will appear on your electric bill once the solar project is live for two meter readings
Ex. If the credit is $100, your savings that month = $10
The $10 is subtracted from your electric charges on your bill
