Link your utility, earn solar credits from community projects, and offset your bills — no rooftop needed.
From solar panels on host sites to credits on your power bill — here is the full journey.
How community solar turns into real savings on your electricity bill.
Your savings come in the form of credits on your electric bill. To generate credits, SolarGrid installs solar capacity on hosting premises. These hosts pay SolarGrid for the solar power generated, which is then forwarded to you as credits. These credits are applied on your power bill as a discount on the due amount.
💡 Do note that energy credits are different from green/carbon credits.You receive credits for the power produced by the solar system. The amount of credits you get depends on the capacity you reserve, the sunlight that falls on the panels and the price the host pays for the electricity.
💡 Calculating credits: capacity × yield × discount per unit.The host uses all the solar energy produced by the system and pays SolarGrid a fixed rate for it. The cost of this solar power is 30–40% lower than their local electric utility rates. After the project tenure the plant is transferred to them, and their cost for power falls to zero.
Stack, share, and carry credits across bills and months.
If capacity is reserved in batches from one or more projects, credits from multiple reservations can be combined for use on your bill.
You can connect additional utilities and use your available credits to pay for bills beyond your home use.
Surplus credits from sunny months or when you are on vacation can be carried forward to months ahead.
A cleaner grid for our future, built together by all of us.
