What is the difference between the Neighborhood Solar program and Santa Clara Green Power?
The Neighborhood Solar program gives you the opportunity to make a monthly donation towards the installation of solar energy projects at non-profits, schools and other public facilities within the community. Residents can choose to contribute $5 or $10 per month, which is added to your regular utility bill. This contribution is not tax deductible. When you choose Santa Clara Green Power, SVP purchases 100 percent of the energy you use for your home from western region wind and California solar resources. A portion of your payment goes towards the Neighborhood Solar program. You can participate in both programs if you choose.
