What is Community Solar?
Community solar offers the benefit of solar if you can’t, or prefer not to, install solar panels on your home.
Community solar lets individuals, businesses, or organizations buy or subscribe to a “share” in a community solar project. When you join a community solar project, you receive a credit on your electric bill each month. The size of your share determines how much credit you receive.
Community solar can provide meaningful savings on utility bills, usually from 5-20%. Community solar projects also create local economic impacts by creating jobs and building wealth in the communities where the project is built.
Our shared vision is a statewide policy that supports:
- Community and other independent ownership of community solar
- Tangible savings for subscribers
- Competitive and transparent markets for community solar development
- Equitable access to the benefits of community solar for all Hoosiers

What is happening in Indiana?
Community solar programs are available in 22 states. Unfortunately, Indiana law hasn’t enabled these programs.
We’re advocating to enable independent community solar in Indiana. Local clean energy needs to be in the hands of everyday Hoosiers—not just big companies and utilities.
That’s why we are organizing a movement of solar supporters in Indiana to bring community solar to our state – take action by filling out the form to the right.
