Erie County is excited to announce its collaboration with AMPION to provide clean power and energy savings for our community through Community Solar. New York State facilitates Community Solar, which allows residents to lower their monthly utility bills and support locally generated solar power without the need for panel installation on their property.

These Community Solar projects located within our utility territories are on a first come, first served basis. Signing up is easy and free. Past due utility amounts don't matter! Once your solar project is active, you automatically receive bill credits. On average, this can take 3-6 months, and can sometimes take longer. Your savings continue for 5 years OR MORE.

 

 

Save Money: Community Solar can save you approximately 10% on your annual electricity costs.​

No Extra Costs: No costs to you, and your utility service stays the same!​

Who Can Join: Renters and homeowners in Erie County. See program options below!​

Why: Because everyone deserves the benefits of clean renewable energy, and Erie County is helping to make it happen!​
