How is this a better option than rooftop solar? ​

    • It’s accessible, for renters and those without a perfect roof design.  
    • Our community solar garden provides a competitive bill credit just like rooftop solar but without the risks of installing and maintaining your own system. 
    • It’s flexible, you can opt-out or transfer your subscription to another account. 
    • It benefits the entire community by providing predictable, clean, and affordable energy to our electricity grid.

    Why can’t I purchase a share or own part of the system?

    • The municipalities are retaining ownership of the garden to ensure the system is designed, operated, and maintained properly.  
    • The municipalities are offering an easy-to-understand subscription model to avoid complex financing that requires income tax reporting for participants.
    • Similar subscription models are successful in other Canadian communities.
