What is Community Solar?
Community solar is a green energy option that brings the benefits of solar to renters, homeowners and other community members without the upfront costs of installing your own panels. Instead, solar panels are located at a local community solar farm in Massachusetts. The solar power generated is delivered into your local power grid, and you receive dollar credits on your National Grid utility bill. The savings are automatic — all you need to do is enroll!
Clean
Solar energy is sent directly to National Grid, replacing carbon energy.

Our solar farms are located right here in Massachusetts, supporting the community.

FAQ
How does the program work?
Enroll once, and your National Grid electricity account will be linked to Onyx Renewables’ community solar farm. It’s an easy way to save money on your electricity bills. Solar power goes from the solar farm to National Grid, where it helps power your community with planet-friendly renewable energy. As a subscriber, you get a piece of the clean energy incentives in the form of solar credits, which reduces the cost of your utility bill.
Do I need to own my home or apartment to participate?
Nope! Renters and homeowners alike have access to community solar savings — no solar panel installation necessary!
How do I see my savings?
Each month, customers will see their solar credits applied to their National Grid utility bill. Then, you’ll receive a separate bill from Onyx Renewables showing your dollar savings and 10% discount.
Do I keep my utility provider?
Yes! There is no change or disruption to your electricity service. National Grid will remain your utility provider and continue to send a monthly bill. The only difference is, as an Onyx Renewables customer, you’ll automatically receive solar credits on your National Grid bill.
Exact savings will vary depending on your energy usage each month.
