Solar Gardens Sunrise
Now Non-Profits Can Provide Renewable Energy Bill Credits to Qualified Schools and Customers
The Solar Gardens Sunrise program is open to all organizations with a non-profit status that serve low-income residential customers or schools.
How It Works
Establish Screening Process
Your organization must have processes in place to screen customers to ensure they meet the income eligibility requirements of the program.
Pay for Solar Block Subscriptions
Your non-profit organization pays for SolarBlock subscriptions through grants or fund-raising activities.
Assign Solar Block Subscriptions
Your organization assigns SolarBlock subscriptions to eligible income qualified customers or schools who are full service electric customers served by Consumers Energy.
Customers Receive Bill Credits for 3 Years
Qualified customers who are assigned SolarBlocks by your organization receive the same bill credits as our Solar Gardens customers for 3 years without paying any subscription fee.
After 3 Years You can Choose to Reassign Solar Blocks
After 3 years, your organization may choose to rotate the subscribed blocks to another qualified family or school.
