Community Solar: Harnessing the Power of the sun for everyone.
What is Community Solar?
Community solar is a transformative approach to renewable energy that allows businesses and communities to benefit from solar power without needing to install panels on their own property. By participating in a community solar project, multiple subscribers share the electricity generated by a single solar array, which is often located offsite. This innovative model expands access to clean energy, making it easier and more affordable for everyone to contribute to a sustainable future.
