Solar Energy Without Solar Panels Offered By Sawnee EMC

FORSYTH COUNTY, GA – Sawnee EMC recently announced its new solar program, Virtual Solar.

Sawnee’s Virtual Solar Program allows its members the opportunity to purchase solar power, regardless of the location of your home or whether you own or rent. The electricity you receive is generated at off-site solar facilities, and you can purchase blocks of solar energy for an additional monthly rate. The electricity delivered to your home through the power grid is calculated and the solar energy generated from your panels will offset your traditional electricity usage.

With the Virtual Solar Program, many members who are not able to purchase and install their own solar panels, including those who rent, have strict HOA rules or shade issues can participate in Virtual Solar. Plus, there are other advantages:

• The size of a utility scale solar project brings the cost down compared to an individual system
• No holes in the roof and no need to worry about the orientation of the roof
• No maintenance and upkeep by the homeowner
• No long-term contract or financing

The company has created an impact analysis tool to show what affects this program could have on a bill. It is based on your historical data and historical solar output data and is not a representation of what you will be billed in the future. It is for “evaluation purposes” only.

Important: When requesting an impact analysis, provide, in the email, your Sawnee EMC account number, service address and the name on the account.
