For community solar the community dedicates a specific site for the installation of solar panels.

A community solar project is a solar power plant whose electricity is shared by more than one property.

How is community solar defined. With community solar you will be signing up for a share in kilowatts kw of the community solar project s capacity. The primary purpose of community solar is to allow members of a community the opportunity to share the benefits of solar power even if they cannot or prefer not to install solar panels on their property. Project participants benefit from the electricity generated by the community solar farm which costs less than the price they would ordinarily pay to their utility.

For instance a barren agricultural field warehouse roof or deserted factory ground can be utilized for such an installation. Typically a community solar project is located on public or a multi owned property and is an easy way for neighbors to generate local solar energy power. Through the programme businesses farms community buildings clubs and community centres can benefit from the free installation and ongoing maintenance of solar panels in order to access the electricity generated by the panels at a rate which will be typically at least 50 less than standard commercial tariffs. Your share s solar output will usually be higher in summer lower in winter and will also vary from month to month.
