What Is Community Solar?
Community solar is a program that lets you benefit from solar energy without putting panels on your roof. Instead of generating your own power, you subscribe to a share of a nearby solar farm. The energy generated by your share is pumped into the local grid, and your utility company (like BGE, PEPCO, or Delmarva Power) credits your electricity bill for that power.
It is the perfect solution if:
- You rent an apartment or house.
- Your roof is too shaded by trees.
- Your HOA or historic district severely restricts rooftop panels.
- Your roof is too old or structurally unsuitable for a rooftop installation.
- You simply prefer not to have hardware installed on your property.
How Community Solar Works
- Check Your ZIP Code: Enter your ZIP code at gothinkplus.com/yoda to see the Think Energy community solar offers available for your area.
- Generate: The off-site solar farm generates clean electricity and feeds it into the local power grid.
- Get Credited: Your utility company applies “solar credits” to your monthly electric bill, reducing the amount you owe them.
- Pay Less: You pay the community solar provider for those credits at a locked-in discount (a minimum of 5% and up to 25% less than the credit value on your bill), for up to 20 years. You save money every month.
No commitment. Checking the offers at your ZIP code is free, takes about 60 seconds, and enrollment itself takes less than 3 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free to join?
Yes. There are no enrollment fees, no installation costs, and no cancellation fees – you can cancel anytime. You are simply agreeing to buy solar credits at a discounted rate.
Will I receive two bills?
It depends on the program. Some programs feature “consolidated billing,” where everything is handled on your single utility bill (BGE, PEPCO, etc.). Other programs will send you a separate bill for your solar credits. I will always clearly explain the billing structure before you sign up.
What if I move?
As long as you are moving to an address within the same utility territory (e.g., from one BGE house to another BGE house), you can seamlessly transfer your subscription. If you move out of the territory, you can cancel your subscription without penalty.
How do I find the offers in my area?
Just enter your ZIP code at gothinkplus.com/yoda. Availability varies by state and utility territory, and new solar farms are added regularly – so if nothing is open in your area today, check back again soon.
