The report Economic Impact of Community Solar, released by the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA), estimated that 1 GW of community solar can support over 18,000 local jobs and generate $2.8 billion in state economic activity.
Community solar offers ratepayers access to solar-generated electricity without having to put solar on their rooftops. By subscribing to a portion of the electricity generated by a local community solar installation, renters who don’t own their rooftops or people who can’t afford the upfront cost of solar have access to clean and low-cost electricity.
Electrical load is expected to skyrocket, with Texas grid operator, ERCOT, forecasting that demand will exceed supply in Texas in the summer of 2026. A great advantage of community solar is that the projects can be built quickly, be powered by private capital, serve the communities in which they are located and use existing infrastructure.
“This is the energy policy equivalent of finding a $100 bill on the sidewalk—if you’re a governor or a legislator and you walk past it, you’re doing your state a disservice,” said Jeff Cramer, CEO of the CCSA. “States are running out of time and options. Community solar is fast, cost-effective, and it works. We don’t have 10 years to build our way out of this energy crunch. In some cases, we have 18 months, and community solar fits the timeline.”
