What is the difference between MGED’s Solar Community and the solar Net Metering rate?

The solar Net Metering rate is for customers who choose to purchase, install and operate solar generation equipment on their own property, limited to a 25 kilowatt AC size.

The Solar Community Program is a community shared solar program for customers who opt to share the benefits/risks of a large solar array installed within the MGED service territory without incurring the capital cost of installation.

These programs are independent from each other. MGED customers are welcome to participate in both programs.
