What is Community Solar?
The State of Colorado established a program which allows everyone - Renters, Homeowners and Business - to reap the benefits of clean, renewable energy. This program, called a Community Solar Garden (CSG), allows companies like Clean Focus to build large solar arrays that send energy to the local Black Hills Energy grid. Any BHE customer who is interested in supporting clean energy in Colorado and save money can subscribe to a portion of the solar garden energy generation. What makes the program so great is that BHE pays YOU for your share of the energy generated. Every month a credit will appear on your utility bill reflecting the value of the solar energy produced. This value is set by the Colorado Public Service Commission on an annual basis.
Your subscription to the Clean Focus CSG guarantees you savings – you will receive a bill from Clean Focus that is 90% of the value you received from the utility, locking in a 10% savings for you.
And the best part - It’s easy! There is nothing to install at your home or business. There is no maintenance. There is no hassle. Clean Focus builds, operates, maintains and does all the reporting to the utility. You can start saving fast - Just a few simple forms to fill out.

Our CSGs are already operational so you can start seeing savings in 4-6 weeks. It is just a matter of getting the paperwork processed.
We can generate electricity very cost effectively because we can build large solar arrays. This means we can offer our subscribers a discount on their CSG credits. In addition, BHE pays an extra amount for the environmental benefits, increasing the amount of the credits they provide.
A typical home can expect to save about $150 - $200 per year. A small business may save as much as a $1000 per year.
The actual saving will depend on your energy consumption and the actual solar production which will vary month to month but with our discounted credit program you are guaranteed to save something every month.
No. With our program you can cancel at any time with a 30 day advanced notice.
If you are moving within the area you can transfer your subscription to your new location. If you are moving out of the area you can just cancel the subscription.
