Frequently asked questions
SNAP or LIHEAP participation may establish household income eligibility. Medicaid can help verify an individual household member; other adults may need separate verification. You may also qualify if your gross household income is at or below 80% of the Area Median Income for your county and household size. Enrollment is subject to verification and availability.
You keep your existing utility provider and the same reliable electric service. Community solar credits appear on your electric bill after your enrollment is approved and your subscription begins. No solar panels need to be installed on your home.
Typically, you will need basic household information, a recent utility bill, and proof of income or participation in a qualifying assistance program. Your enrollment representative can explain the documents needed for your application. We never ask for payment information.
