What savings do participating households see?

The Connector is aligned with the Inflation Reduction Act 48E(h) tax credit savings definition. Each qualifying household must be provided a bill credit discount rate of at least 20% difference between the financial benefit (utility bill credits, reduction in electricity rate, or other monetary benefits accrued on the utility bill) and the cost of participating in the community solar program (including subscription payments and any other fees and charges) expressed as a percentage of the financial benefit distributed to the household. 

States with unique program design, such as no-cost subscriptions, can work with DOE to establish meaningful savings requirements to be met by community solar projects using the Connector.
