Community solar is an inclusive new solar energy model offering energy consumers the opportunity to contribute to the generation of clean solar electricity without installing any equipment on their property. Benefits of these types of solar projects are not only supporting clean energy and reducing electricity bills, but supporting the local business economy and employment, along with contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment. The solar gardens are developed by SunShare, a national leader in community solar development.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with SunShare, an organization committed to a higher standard of quality in the community solar projects they construct,” said Steve Daniel, EVP of Solar FlexRack.
