Community Solar
Community solar enables community members (subscribers) to participate in a share of a renewable energy project. Subscribers receive credits on their bill for their portion of the energy produced by the community solar system. This allows individuals, small businesses, and/or non-profit organizations to receive direct benefits, similar to on-site solar installations :
-
Support Clean Energy-play an active role in displacing the need for fossil fuels that are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and other toxic pollutants
-
Cut Energy Costs- Lower your monthly electric payments with community solar credits applied directly to your utility bill.
-
No installation Required- Zero upfront costs, no siting requirements, non-profits, renters, homeowners or small businesses with an electric bill in your name can participate
-
Energize Your Local Economy-Support your neighbors by helping to create jobs in construction, engineering, maintenance, and development
Getting started is easy!
RAICA has partnered with Ampion power who has worked with:
-
Over 38 Houses of Worship/Religious Institutions generate over 4GWh of renewable electricity annually
-
Over 107 individual congregant household to add another 5GWh annually
That's like taking more than 450 cars off the road each year so far- you can join to be part of the solution!

“As pastor of a church that takes stewardship and creation care seriously, I’m happy to have us be part of a program that encourages production of more clean, renewable energy – and lets our members save a bit on their bills at the same time. This is a real win-win solution for us,” says Pastor Steve Gretz of Greece Baptist Church.
