Duke Energy has proposed a solar energy program to the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of South Carolina. It aims to provide customers with solar benefits without requiring rooftop panels.The program lets residential, business, and commercial customers subscribe to utility-owned solar facilities. Customers pay a monthly fee and receive bill credits for solar energy produced. Income-qualified customers gain fixed bill credits with no cost to non-participating customers.If approved, the program will launch in 2027, supporting customer sustainability goals with no upfront installation costs.
