Frequently asked questions

Community solar is free to join! As a community solar subscriber, you’ll receive two bills each month:

  1. Your regular electric bill – This will include solar credits that reduce the amount you owe your utility.
  2. A bill from Solstice – This is for the solar credits you used, but we apply your discount before charging you.

Let’s say you get $100 in solar credits on your electric bill. That means your utility bill goes down by $100. If your discount is 10%, Solstice will charge you $90 for those credits. You save $10 – that’s money that stays in your pocket. Solstice asks for a payment method when you sign up so we can charge you for your credits, at your fixed discount.

New Mexico utilities do charge a small administrative fee for community solar, but don’t worry–this fee is always less than the value of your solar credits. That means you’re guaranteed to save with community solar. 

 

Your discount rate ensures you pay less for the solar credits than they’re worth, locking in monthly savings. Even in a worst-case scenario–if your solar farm didn’t produce any energy–you wouldn’t get any credits, and Solstice wouldn’t charge you anything. You’d just pay your normal electric bill, like you do today.

No, it doesn’t! Community solar farms send their energy to the electric grid, just like the power you get today. You’ll keep getting reliable electricity exactly the same way you do now.

A limited amount of community solar spots are available to electric customers of PNM, El Paso Electric (EPE), and Xcel (SPS) in New Mexico. Because these projects are built to serve residents who stand to benefit most from savings, individuals signing up their home may be asked to report their household income to qualify. Most small businesses qualify, depending on their electric rate code.

 

To see if your home or business qualifies for a community solar project near you, simply create an account at solstice.us/register and our system will ask you a few questions! Account setup is free.

When you sign up with Solstice, you’ll input your address and utility account information. You can connect your utility account to community solar by either logging into your account directly or by uploading a picture of a recent bill. Solstice will use this information to reserve you a portion of the solar farm that matches your energy use.
