Rhythm Energy offers 100% solar plans that empower anyone—homeowner, renter, or business—to support renewable energy without rooftop panels.
Wait a Sec... What Does “Solar Without Panels” Mean?
Simple. It lets you access solar energy without installing your own rooftop solar system. Instead, you select a renewable electricity plan where your energy is sourced from solar farms. Retail energy providers like Rhythm Energy transparently purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match your energy usage, ensuring your power consumption directly supports renewable sources.

Why Solar Farms Are Critical for a Stronger Grid
Solar farms not only generate renewable energy but are vital for the resilience and stability of the power grid. When more consumers choose solar-sourced plans, demand for solar energy rises, driving the development of larger solar installations. These large-scale projects provide consistent and significant power supplies, improving grid stability, reducing the need for fossil-fuel-based plants, and enabling a reliable transition to a sustainable energy system.
By opting for solar without panels, you’re directly contributing to a healthier, stronger grid infrastructure.
Why It Matters
Embracing solar without panels democratizes access to renewable energy. It allows more people to actively contribute to sustainability, enhances energy equity, and plays a critical role in transitioning our grid to cleaner, renewable sources. Together, these efforts significantly reduce emissions, improving air quality and environmental health for everyone.
