Why do I need to share details about my electric utility account?

One of the requirements to sign up your home or business with a community solar subscription is to provide some details about your account with your electricity provider.

But why does Sunscription need this information? We need this information for a couple of reasons. First, we need your electric usage history or square footage documentation in order to match your subscription size to your home's annual electricity usage. Think of it like this: if your home uses 10,000 kWh of electricity in a year, we want to set you up to support 10,000 kWh of clean electricity from the Solar Garden. This will help ensure that you get the maximum savings that the program will allow. And it will make sure your monthly Sunscription payments to US Solar and your monthly Sunscription credits on your electric bill are proportional to your electricity costs.

Additionally, when you become a subscriber, we need to connect your Sunscription to your electric bill through your electric provider. This allows credits for your subscription to be applied directly on your bill. Your utility does not give that information directly to us to ensure your privacy, so that's why we request it from you.

In summary, providing some information from your electric bills helps us create the perfect subscription for your home or business, and helps ensure you get your Sunscription credits automatically each month.
