How much will it cost to participate?

Units of solar energy in 50 kWh blocks are available. The subscription rate is $5.38 per solar block. You are obligated to pay the fixed block charge for each subscribed solar block even in months where your actual usage is less than the cumulative size of the subscribed solar blocks.

The monthly subscription rate per solar block will be fixed for successive three-year terms, with the first term ending on May 31, 2025.

• That date is three years after when the community solar tariff was approved by the State Corporation Commission.
• The end of the three-year term does not mean an end to community solar. The term’s end simply gives SVEC an opportunity to re-evaluate the rate at that time.

The fixed block charge will be updated at the end of each three-year term based on prevailing energy supply costs recovered in the cooperative’s standard rates. Read the full Community Solar Subscription Rider SSR-1 (PDF).
