Are you sure that you lose any credits at the end of the calendar year, December, and not at the end of a 12-month period? I'm pretty sure with net metering the credits stayed on your account for 12 months and would drop off in the 13th month. But I'm not sure if the community solar rules are the same.

I've seen a lot of direct mail solicitations to join one of these community solar farms, but I have not decided to pull the trigger because I'm not sure if all of the hassle is worth possibly saving 15%.

I use power market and there has been zero hassle. I signed up last year, have been using their service all year. The only downside is they do bill directly from a checking or savings account. With CMP I can pay them with a credit card. I can't do that with power market but thankfully for me it's not an issue.

As far as savings. I've saved close to $300 this year alone so it's been worth it. My bill for CMP each month is $13.73 and power market invoices me by email so I know how much will be debited for my checking account. It's about as hassle free as it can get.

I second this. Other than auto pay annoyance we have had great results with Powermarket. It’s pretty enjoyable to see that CMP only gets $13.73 a month from me.
