CAB driven community solar farms can benefit communities in a number of ways, including:

• Environmental benefits: Community solar farms generate clean, renewable energy that helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Visit our Blog for the latest news.

• Reduced electricity costs: Community solar participants can save money on their electricity bills by subscribing to a portion of a solar farm. This is especially beneficial for LMI residents, who may have difficulty affording high electricity costs.

• Increased access to renewable energy: Community solar can help to increase access to renewable energy for all members of a community, regardless of whether they own their own home or have a suitable roof for solar panels.

• Local economic benefits: Community solar projects can create jobs in the local community during construction and operation. They can also boost local tax revenue and help to support local businesses.

• Community engagement: Community solar projects can help to engage residents in their community and promote environmental awareness.

For LMI residents, community solar can provide a number of additional benefits, such as:

• No upfront costs: LMI residents often do not have the financial resources to install rooftop solar panels. Community solar allows them to participate in the benefits of solar energy without having to make any upfront investments.

• Equity: Community solar can help to address the environmental and economic inequalities that often exist between different income groups. By making solar energy more accessible to LMI residents, community solar can help to create a more equitable and just community.

• Education and outreach: Community solar projects can provide educational opportunities for LMI residents about solar energy and renewable energy. This can help to raise awareness of the benefits of solar energy and encourage more people to participate in community solar projects.

Overall, community solar farms can provide a number of benefits for communities, especially LMI residents. By reducing electricity costs, increasing access to renewable energy, and providing environmental and economic benefits, community solar can help to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
