Community Solar

Community Solar refers to a shared solar energy project that allows multiple participants, typically members of a community, to benefit from a single solar power installation. Instead of individuals installing solar panels on their own properties, they can subscribe to or purchase a share of a larger solar farm located in their vicinity. This arrangement enables those who may not have suitable roofs for solar panels, such as renters or homeowners with shaded roofs, to access the benefits of solar energy.Community Solar initiatives typically provide subscribers with energy credits, reducing their electricity bills, or may offer a fixed rate for solar energy over a specified period. These projects promote the use of renewable energy, increase local energy independence, and can contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. They are designed to be inclusive and accessible, often emphasizing community engagement and local economic development.
