When all blocks sell out, CVEC will keep a wait list and will notify members when new blocks become available.

This offering is for members who want solar energy to reduce their carbon footprint but do not want to pay the cost of installing solar panels on their homes. Community solar provides an option for members who want solar energy but live in apartments or are otherwise unable to install solar panels on their homes. This offer appeals to members who wish to lock in the price of solar energy until the year 2043.
Since net metering members are already using the solar energy generated from their personal installations, we wanted to make the Solar Share offer available to members who support green energy but cannot install such panels (i.e. live in apartments or rental properties, cannot afford the panel installation, etc).
