Every state runs community solar differently - different compensation mechanisms, different LMI mandates, different capacity caps, different utility playbooks. Cannon delivers the full stack - development, EPC, O&M, and subscriber management - under one accountable contract in each of the markets below.
12 markets · one accountable partner
IL
Illinois Shines (Adjustable Block Program)
Illinois Power Agency · Illinois Shines
One of the country's deepest community solar markets - annual block capacity, 25-year REC contracts, and a dedicated Illinois Solar for All track for LMI customers.
NY
Community Distributed Generation (CDG) under VDER
NY Public Service Commission · NYSERDA · NY-Sun
The largest community solar market in the country. Compensation runs through the Value Stack (VDER) with strong inclusive-community-solar adders for low-to-moderate income subscribers.
NJ
Community Solar Energy Program (CSEP)
NJ Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU)
After a successful pilot, New Jersey's permanent CSEP is the largest community solar market in the Mid-Atlantic - with a hard 51% LMI subscriber requirement on LMI-designated projects.
MA
SMART 3.0 (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target)
MA Department of Energy Resources (DOER)
SMART 3.0 brings annual adjustable blocks, expanded low-income adders, and tighter land-use rules - replacing the long-running SMART 2.0 tariff structure.
MD
Community Solar Energy Generating Systems (CSEGS)
Maryland Public Service Commission
Maryland's pilot became permanent under HB 908 (2023) with a 40% LMI subscriber requirement - and SB 1022 (2025) lets LMI subscribers cross utility territories. In Maryland we operate our own registered subscriber organization, Maryland Community Solar.
ME
Net Energy Billing (NEB) - in transition
Maine Public Utilities Commission · Office of the Public Advocate
Maine's NEB program closes to new front-of-meter projects at year-end 2025 under LD 1777 reforms - but the existing fleet still needs decades of O&M, and a successor program is on the way.
VA
Shared Solar Program (Dominion Energy Virginia)
Virginia State Corporation Commission
Virginia's Shared Solar Program - established under HB 1634 / SB 629 (2020) and expanded by 2024 legislation - operates in Dominion Energy territory with a 30% LMI carve-out that exempts subscribers from the program's minimum bill.
DE
Community Energy Facilities (CEFs)
Delaware Public Service Commission
Delaware's compact, high-quality community solar market operates under PSC Reg 3013 and recent SB 298 amendments - with bill credits flowing through Delmarva Power.
PA
Community Solar (HB 1155 / pending statewide program)
PA Public Utility Commission · PA General Assembly
Pennsylvania has no statewide community solar program yet - but HB 1155 cleared the House in May 2025. We're building the pipeline so the day rules drop, projects break ground.
DC
Solar for All · Community Renewable Energy Facilities (CREF)
DC Public Service Commission · DOEE
The District runs one of the most aggressive LMI community solar programs in the country - Solar for All targets 100,000 low-income households with 50% bill savings, all delivered through Pepco-territory CREFs.
NC
Shared Solar (HB 589) · Duke Energy Carolinas / Progress
NC Utilities Commission · Duke Energy
North Carolina's shared-solar program runs through Duke Energy under HB 589 (the 2017 Competitive Energy Solutions for NC Act). The state is one of the largest solar markets in the country - and shared-solar capacity is opening to non-Duke-built projects as the program expands.
NH
Group Net Metering · Low-Moderate Income Community Solar
NH Public Utilities Commission
New Hampshire delivers community solar through Group Net Metering (RSA 362-A:9) plus a dedicated LMI community-solar adder approved by the PUC. Smaller program than the MA/NY giants - but high-quality bill credits in a deregulated market that rewards smart subscriber management.
Cannon services 22 states across residential, commercial, and storage. As community solar programs open in new markets, we follow - usually before the rules drop.
