- That's it. No social security number, no payment details, no credit check.
Before you start
Is this actually free?
Yes. There is no cost to join, no installation, no equipment, and no cancellation fee. You only ever pay for solar credits that have already been applied to your bill, and you pay 20% less than they are worth.
Who is Solar Simplified?
We connect households and businesses with local solar projects, and we have generated over $20 million in electricity credits for our customers. We are a registered community solar provider, not an alternative electricity supplier, so we never take over your utility service.
Why do you need my RG&E account information?
Your account number is how your solar credits get applied to the right bill. It does not give us access to your money, and we never need a payment method or a social security number to enroll you.
Do I need to own my home?
No. Nothing is installed at your property, so renters qualify on the same terms as homeowners. You just need to be the person who pays the RG&E bill.
Does my RG&E service change?
No. RG&E stays your utility, delivers your power and sends your bill exactly as they do today. Community solar in New York is a state-regulated program and participation is voluntary.
Can I cancel later?
Yes, at any time, with no fees and no penalty. There is no long-term contract.
