6 FAQs about [New solar power generation in the community]

How can community solar transform the energy industry?

Community solar provides a framework to transform the energy industry by combining group ownership, the imperative to decarbonize, and discounts of bulk-purchases, with proven and continually improving technology. Community solar is transforming the energy industry from the bottom-up. However, it is disruptive to the status quo.

How will a new community-owned solar system benefit England and Wales?

Once under new ownership, they will boost England and Wales’ total capacity of community-owned solar power by 20%. And green electricity isn’t the only result. They will also, over their lifetime of at least 20 years, generate approximately £20m in funds to be used specifically for projects that benefit the local communities.

Are solar PV systems a viable alternative to community energy?

Many projects were saved by solar PV prices falling steadily until systems became viable if organisations hosting them paid for the electricity. Community energy grew, and in 2015 there were thought to be 150-200 community energy organisations, owning solar, wind, hydro and biomass boilers.

Can a community energy project survive without government funding?

The third phase will need to survive without government funding, which is feasible in some cases now that the costs of solar installation have drastically reduced and because renewables are no longer a niche energy source. The Repowering London example is a typical illustration of what makes community energy projects successful.

Should the government help local communities generate their own energy?

A recent poll by Co-op Energy found that a record high of 82% of respondents think the government should do more to help local communities generate their own energy, and 69% think the government should offer tax relief to those individuals who take the risk of investing in community energy.

Why is community solar important?

Community solar adds an important dimension in the transition to decarbonized energy: the power of collective action. The outcome is local participation in energy generation, which makes it possible for everybody to join the solar revolution: renters, apartment dwellers, and others who cannot, for one reason or another, install rooftop solar.
