Image by Sacramento City Unified School District, via SEIA.With increasing pressure on family budgets and the U.S. electricity grid, more Americans are turning to solar to take control of their energy needs. While not everyone can put a solar array on their roof, renters, condo owners, low-to-moderate income households, and other energy users can still access the benefits of solar.
Community solar projects are large, off-site solar facilities that multiple households and businesses can benefit from, either by purchasing part of a solar facility or subscribing to access a portion of the project’s electricity generation. Once a project is built and connected to the grid, subscribers then receive a credit on their electricity bill for their share of the electricity the project produces.
Community choice aggregation is a program that allows cities, counties, and municipalities to procure power from alternative generation sources while maintaining the transmission and distribution networks from their current utility.
