Step 1: A Community Solar Array is Built
-
Pivot Energy builds the solar gardens, typically ranging between 0.5 and 10 MW, in a participating service area, and connects them to Xcel's existing electrical grid.
Step 2: Clean Energy is Delivered to the Grid
-
The electricity that is produced by the solar far becomes part of the utility's energy mix, offsetting fossil fuels.
Step 3: Nederland Residents Subscribe to the Community Solar Garden
-
Nederland residents can subscribe to the solar garden, to offset their home's electrical usage with renewable energy.
-
Subscribers will receive a monthly bill from Pivot Energy for their subscription to community solar.
Step 4: Xcel Credits Your Electricity Bill
- Subscribers receive solar credits from Xcel for the energy produced by the solar garden. The solar credits reduce your overall electric bill, saving you money!
