Donate Solar Credits

We love solar energy!! In 2005, we installed the first set of solar panels on the roof of our barn. In 2011, we doubled it. In 2018, through a generous grant, were able to cover the entire roof of our Apprentice House next door with it’s own system.

Did you know that if you own a solar PV system, you can determine where your excess electricity credits end up? As Brookfield Farm is owned by a non-profit, you can delineate your excess electricity credits to us (at no cost to you).

Any donations are greatly appreciated
will be added to our Annual Fund which is dedicated to helping us create and support responsible agriculture.

HERE’s HOW TO Donate Credits:

As the “host” solar donor, please follow these instructions to donate your credits:

  1. Donors must submit a Schedule Z or net metering application to EVERSOURCE. A copy of the form can be found on EVERSOURCE’s website here: https://www.eversource.com/content/docs/default-source/ema---pdfs/net-metering.pdf

    A completed copy of the Schedule Z can be found here.

  2. Your donation: On the Schedule Z, indicate what percentage (1-100%) of future net metering credits will be transferred to Brookfield Farm. When your solar system produces excess energy, it will be applied on our bill to show that your credits have been applied. NOTE: Unfortunately, lump sum donations of existing credits cannot be transferred to the Brookfield account. Only future credits can be donated.

  3. Please contact us by email or phone to let us know that you plan to submit a Schedule Z to EVERSOURCE. We will provide you with Brookfield’s account number and other information needed for the Schedule Z form.

  4. Share your donation with us: If you would like a tax receipt for your donations, please share with us the credit amounts that appear on your monthly electric bills. Sharing this information also confirms that your records match what we see on our statements and lets us acknowledge and confirm receipt of your gift.

For additional information on being a solar donor and donating net metering credits to Brookfield Farm, please contact us.

We are grateful for any net metering credit donation shared with us at Brookfield Farm. Thank you!!
