Community Solar is a local energy option that makes solar power available to renters and homeowners with no up-front costs or expensive solar panels. Our community solar farms across Maine generate power from the sun and deliver it into the Versant Maine Public District electricity grid.

It’s simple. Your Versant Maine Public District electricity account will be linked to Join Solar. They’ll allocate a share of our solar energy to match your electricity usage. This generates solar credits on your Versant Maine Public District electricity bill, reducing the amount you owe to the utility – and you’ll save with a 15% discount from Join Solar for those credits.

Nope! Renters and homeowners alike have access to savings with our solar energy; and remember—no installation necessary!

No solar panels or installations necessary. It’s simple to get started with no additional sign-up fees.

It’s FREE to enroll, with no up-front costs. If you choose to cancel for any reason, or move out of the Versant Maine Public District service area, there’s no fee to cancel.

You’ll save up to 15% on your monthly electricity costs when you pay with a check or auto debit from your
bank. You’ll save 12% if you prefer to pay with a credit card. Either way, your savings are guaranteed.

Nothing. You’ll continue to have an account with your current utility company, and start to save money.

Yes, your Versant Maine Public District utility bill will show a credit for the solar energy allocated to you. There is no change to your Versant Maine Public District electricity service. You’ll receive a monthly statement from Join Solar listing your discounted cost of electricity and how much money you’ve saved each month.

Your existing utility account number can be found on your utility bill or by signing into your utility account online.

No, Join Solar is a community solar developer, which is not the same as a third-party retail energy supplier. Instead, Join Solar provides solar electricity to your utility company and you get a credit for the value of the electricity generated on your behalf. Your discount is also guaranteed for up to 20 years, unlike retail energy suppliers who offer short-term savings and can change rates often.

There is none. Versant Maine Public District will continue to be your electric company. You get a discount because our solar power is going into their grid.

You can call us at (207) 518-8970. We’re available Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
