Community Solar: Harnessing the Power of Unity for Sustainable Energy

Community solar, also known as solar gardens or shared solar, is a collective solar energy project designed to bring renewable power to multiple participants who cannot install solar panels on their own properties. Instead of relying on individual rooftop solar installations, community solar projects pool resources and use a larger, off-site solar array to generate electricity. The produced energy is then distributed to the participants, who subscribe to a portion of the solar output based on their energy needs. The ...
