Nearly 80% of U.S. Households Are Likely Ineligible for Rooftop Solar

Solar energy is on the rise, but what happens to the estimated 77% of U.S. households that can’t install rooftop solar? Whether they wish to save money or help reduce the United States’ reliance on fossil fuels, households for whom rooftop solar isn’t possible or affordable can still benefit from solar energy. Community Solar links households with solar projects — e.g. solar farms — by allowing them to purchase solar energy, often at a discount, that then gets delivered to the local grid.
