Okay… what's the catch?
Fair question. There isn't one — here's the whole thing in plain English.
Where the savings come from
Your state pays solar farms to feed clean energy into the grid. When you join, you're allocated a share of one farm's output — and the credits from your share land on your electric bill every month.
What changes for you
Honestly? Just the total. Same utility, same wires, same reliability. No panels, no home visits, no equipment. Savings range from 5% to 40% depending on your state and utility.
How enrollment works
Enrollment is with Ampion, a public benefit corporation running clean energy programs across the country. You sign up online in about 5 minutes, nothing gets installed, and credits appear on your existing bill.
Who can join?
If you pay an electric bill to a participating utility, you likely qualify.
Homeowners
Solar savings with zero construction, permits, or maintenance.
Renters
No roof needed — your share lives at a solar farm, not your building.
Assistance recipients
Households on LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, or similar may get boosted savings.
Small businesses
Cut operating costs and support your state's clean energy jobs.
Receive LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, or other assistance? Your savings may increase.
In many states, households receiving government assistance qualify for a boosted savings rate — verified during enrollment. Renters qualify too.

Is this a government program?
The savings come through state-supported clean energy programs, but enrollment is with a private company (like Ampion Renewable Energy) — not a government agency. Your utility and service stay exactly the same.
Does it cost anything to join?
No sign-up fees, deposits, equipment, or installation costs. Nothing is installed at your home and there's nothing to buy.
How much can I save?
Your savings rate depends on your state, utility, and whether you receive assistance — ranging from 5% to 40% of your monthly credit value. Eligibility is verified during enrollment.
I rent. Can I still join?
Yes. Your share lives at a solar farm, not your building, so renters qualify the same as homeowners — no landlord involvement needed.
Will my electric service change?
No. Same utility, same wires, same reliability. The only change is credits appearing on your bill.
Can I cancel?
Yes — you can cancel at any time without penalty. No long-term commitment.
