What is Community Solar—and Why It’s Growing Fast
Community solar lets multiple customers share energy from a single solar installation. It’s ideal for renters, businesses, and anyone without roof access.
By 2030, community solar is expected to grow by over 400%, with billions in funding flowing through state-level pilot programs.
But growth = complexity.
The Real Challenge: Managing These Projects Is a Nightmare
You’re not just installing panels. You’re managing:
- Dozens (or hundreds) of subscribers
- Complex metering + billing systems
- Customer support and updates
- Ongoing performance visibility
- Shared ownership models and legal compliance
That’s a lot for a spreadsheet and a Gmail inbox.
