No, JOE-4-SUN is not a utility company or energy supplier. You will continue to receive an electric bill from your utility as usual. JOE-4-SUN is a low-income community solar program that works with your utility to reduce your total balance due by applying credits to your electric bill.
JOE-4-SUN will save you hundreds per year on electricity—up to 20% in New York and over $300 in Massachusetts—and connect you to the green energy revolution. You will receive discounted bill credits on your utility bill, which are generated by clean, renewable energy at our solar farms. JOE-4-SUN provides all the benefits of solar energy without the hassle of rooftop panels
As a JOE-4-SUN subscriber, you earn bill credits from the energy produced by our solar farms. Every unit of electricity we produce is assigned a dollar value by the utility and that total dollar amount is given to our local subscribers as bill credits that lower their utility bills. These credits reduce what you owe to your energy company each month. In our pay-as-you-go program, JOE-4-SUN then invoices you separately for the bill credits you have already received at a 50% discount. We are actively working with the state to simplify this system. In the meantime, we are here to answer any questions you may have.
The value of the credits you receive each month will vary based on the weather and solar production. You can expect a higher credit value in the summer when we produce more solar power and a lower value in the winter, but the total annual savings you see will be between $300 and $400 in Massachusetts, or about $200 in New York.
After you are accepted into JOE-4-SUN, we will send your account to the utility. You will see savings on your bill after being processed and assigned to one of our solar arrays by your utility, which takes 1-2 billing cycles.
