A community-based solar project allows businesses, municipalities, organizations, and residents to purchase shares in a renewable energy facility to offset their monthly energy consumption.
Community solar allows for equal access to solar energy generation’s economic and environmental benefits without putting solar modules on the roofs.
Who Can Benefit from Community Solar?
- You do not directly control the shared property
- Small and medium sized businesses
- Your roof would require significant investment before a PV system could be installed.
- Your roof is oriented so that it cannot receive adequate sunlight.
