Community Solar: A New Benefit for GreenStar Co-op Owners
Introducing a NEW Owner Benefit: Community Solar!
In partnership with Delaware River Solar, we are offering community solar as a new benefit for our Co-op owners.
Community Solar allows both homeowners and renters to easily participate in solar, regardless of their ability to install a solar array on their own property.
Community Solar Benefits:
- savings on your electric bill (save up to 10% per year!)
- local renewable energy
- no panels required on your roof or property
- no maintenance required
- available to homeowners and renters
- no sign-up fees or deposits
- no cancellation fees
- receive a $50 GreenStar gift card when you are fully registered for the program
GreenStar Also Benefits
With every sign-up, GreenStar receives a subscription fee, which will provide capital for our expansion. So, it’s a win for you and a win for your Co-op!
Delaware River Solar (DRS), based in Sullivan County, is building a community solar farm in Dryden. DRS is a solar development company focused on building community solar projects in New York State. Their community solar farms bring green, renewable energy to residents and businesses while saving them money on their electric bills.
To receive your $50 GreenStar gift card, please put GreenStar on the
“Referred By or Referral Code” line on the sign up form.
