Have you ever seen patches of solar panels on the side of the road, these are generally classified as community solar. Community solar is a large-scale solar system that is invested in by a number of customers, including homeowners, businesses, etc., and the government. Community Solar will distribute a percentage of the investment to the investor based on the amount of money invested.
Community solar will be built on public land, if the user has the desire to join, you can sign the appropriate agreement, community solar will be based on your share of the solar farm to allocate solar panels, you own the solar panels will be oh a certain amount of power output every day and will be transmitted to the grid of the power it generates. When you pay your electricity bill, you get a discounted rate. Typically, users can save about 10% on their bills.
Doesn’t consume users’ land: Community solar is built on centralized public land, users don’t need to use their own land to install solar panels, which reduces the number of users who give up using solar power systems due to insufficient land resources and maximizes the use of public land.
No need to maintain and clean the solar panels: solar panels in the process of use will occur more problems, such as hot spot effect, PID effect, etc., which will damage the solar panels, we have to spend time to the solar panels to carry out regular maintenance and cleaning to reduce the occurrence of these problems. However, Community Solar will have staff to inspect and repair the solar panels, which reduces the time we spend on maintenance and cleaning of the solar panels.
Saving on electricity bills: While international tariffs are usually set several times higher than normal tariffs during peak periods, community solar can help you reduce the high tariffs you pay during peak periods.
It’s easy to join and cancel: most community solar doesn’t charge any upfront payment, you just need to sign the appropriate agreement. If you’re moving or don’t want to participate at a later date, there’s no compensation for canceling, but you may need to notify your provider a few months in advance so they can cancel your subscription with the utility and find another user.
Strengthened utility grid: In high-demand areas where there may be power outages due to lack of supply, the government has partnered with developers to build community solar farms to help the utility address power shortages.
If you live in an area where the light intensity may be low or the environment is not suitable for installing solar panels, but would like to utilize solar power, community solar is a good choice. Community solar is friendly to both renters and homeowners, as well as business.
However, if your electricity bill is paid by the community instead of you or you don’t have a personal account to pay your electricity bill, you may not be able to participate in community solar, and you can negotiate with the community before deciding whether or not you want to participate in community solar.
Community solar is a cooperative solar system owned by a variety of investors to benefit local residents and businesses.
