Community solar legislation opens new markets in the Northeast

One way for renters and homeowners alike to lower electric bills is by subscribing to community solar projects, but this unique solar option is largely dependent on state policy. Only 20 states currently have legislation on the books allowing for community solar development. The Northeast is home to a number of these states, with Massachusetts and New York boasting 436 MWAC and 243 MWAC of community solar power, respectively.
