Coummunity solar is not a scam. I've been using it for over a year with PowerMarket. It will save you money but you also have to be aware that you will end up with a larger power bill in the summer as the solar farm generates more power and you get billed for the portion you generate. Granted the unused portion gets rolled into a bank but you are paying for those banked credits in advanced.

My largest bill last year for the summer was $251.60 after the 15% savings was applied but my bill for this month with PowerMarket is only $78.51 and I owed CMP $13.73 even though I used just a tad over 1300 kWhs. My banked credits covered the 1300 but again, I paid in advance for them during the summer months.

I will be contacting PowerMarket and asking them to adjust my generation amount so it never goes over 750 kWh per billing cycle as I don't want to get stuck with a bill for around $325 during the summer.

It takes awhile to figure things out and I'm going to have PowerMarket adjust my allocated amount to no more than 750 kWh's per billing cycle.
