Community Solar

Roofless Solar gives you the financial benefits without having to put panels on your rooftop.

Our community solar programs promise to expand solar access to everyone, particularly to those with structural challenges, renters, and other customers for whom traditional solar is not feasible. These programs allow customers to purchase solar panels at off-site locations and to receive credits on their CPS Energy bill for the energy produced.

Roofless Solar

In 2016, CPS Energy selected Clean Energy Collective (CEC) to construct a 1.2-megawatt (MW) Roofless Solar Array called “Community Solar”. This centrally located solar facility is built within the community just east of Adkins, TX, which allowed multiple residents and business owners to buy panels in the same array. The solar power produced is fed back to CPS Energy’s grid, and CPS Energy applies credits on customers’ electric bills for their renewable generation.

Big Sun Community Solar

In 2019, CPS Energy selected Go Smart Solar, a local San Antonio firm, to operate and maintain 5 megawatts (MW) of community-owned solar power. Through this partnership, solar-panel covered parking spaces were constructed throughout the city in a project known as Big Sun Community Solar. This program allowed customers to purchase panels at off-site locations and receive credits on their electric bills for the energy produced.
