Nelnet Customers, Plug Into™ Community Solar

If you’re a student loan customer with Nelnet as your servicer, now you can save on energy costs, support clean energy – and receive a $100 Amazon.com Gift Card.1

Community Solar in Action

A community solar farm, or project, is a collection of solar panels.

The community solar farm supplies clean, renewable energy to your local utility company.

Homeowners, renters, and businesses can sign up for community solar in just minutes. When you sign up, you receive power from National Grid like you do today.

Once your farm starts generating energy, you receive solar credits on your monthly National Grid bill that actually save you money on your energy costs.

See How It Works for You

You already know Nelnet provides exceptional service for your student loans. Now we’re supporting community solar, which brings the benefits of solar power to homeowners, renters, and businesses all over the country. If National Grid is your utility provider, you may be able to sign up for a community solar project – and you’ll even come out ahead financially.

  • You don’t have to worry about installing solar panels on your rooftop.

  • You don’t even need to own your roof (or have one).

  • You pay no upfront costs, maintenance, or insurance fees.

  • You’ll save up to 10% on your monthly energy costs.2

  • You’ll receive a $100 Amazon.com Gift Card when you use promo code: NELNETSAVES.1

Sign-up is easy.

All you need is five minutes and your utility bill.

Plus, we’ll let you know when your project is going live so you know when your subscription (and your savings) will begin.
