What we build
Community solar gardens.
Community solar is how most households get to participate in the clean-energy transition. No rooftop, no contractor, no five-figure check. Just a subscription to a local solar project that sits on the electric grid serving your neighborhood, and a utility bill credit that arrives every month.
How a Saga community solar garden works
A Saga community solar project is typically a 1 to 10 MW solar array connected to the local distribution grid. Residents, small businesses, and municipalities in the same utility territory subscribe to offset their own electricity consumption, and receive a monthly utility bill credit that meaningfully reduces what they pay. No panels on your roof. No installer visits. No long-term contract that outlives your lease.
The project feeds clean power directly into the grid that serves the subscribers. The subscribers see the benefit on the next bill cycle. The landowner hosting the project earns a 25 to 30 year lease payment that reliably escalates. Everyone's incentives line up.
Who community solar is for
- Households that want clean energy but rent their home, live in a condo, or have a roof that doesn't support solar.
- Low- and moderate-income subscribers. Most state programs require a portion of any project to be reserved for LMI households, and these allocations are where community solar does its most important work.
- Small businesses looking for a hedge against utility rate volatility without needing the capital of owning your own system.
- Municipalities and universities anchoring projects in the communities they serve.
