Question about those community solar farms you can subscribe to

I thought it was just a greenwashing gimmick, but after seeing my friend's electric bill in Buffalo drop by $40 a month for three straight months without installing a single panel, I'm signing up this week, and has anyone else tried a program like this in their city?

Forty bucks is nice, but what happens when it's a cloudy winter? My cousin did something like this and his discount vanished for two months straight. They call it a "subscription," which means you're locked in but the savings aren't. Feels like betting on the weather with extra steps.

Wait, your cousin's discount just vanished for two whole months?

It's not really greenwashing if it cuts your bill and uses real solar power.
