Common Questions
Do I need to install anything on my home?
No! That's the beauty of community solar. The solar panels are located at a solar garden, not on your property. Your home stays exactly as it is.
Will I still get my electricity from Xcel Energy?
Yes! Your electricity still comes through Xcel Energy. The only difference is that you receive credits on your bill for the solar energy produced by your community solar garden.
How much will I save?
Most customers save between 5-15% on their electric bills. Your exact savings depend on your energy usage and the solar garden you're connected to.
