A bill for an act relating to solar energy by establishing a community solar facility program.

This bill establishes Iowa's community solar program, allowing residents and businesses to subscribe to shared solar facilities and receive bill credits for the electricity generated. It requires electric utilities to provide subscribers with credits for 25 years (based on their proportional share), facilitate interconnection without treating facilities as public utilities, and maintain a platform for tracking subscriptions. Key rules include capping facility size at 5 megawatts, requiring at least three subscribers, limiting single-subscriber ownership to 40%, and ensuring subscriptions remain portable if a subscriber moves within the same utility's service area. The program aims to expand access to solar energy while standardizing utility processes for community solar projects.
