When do you recommend community solar?

Community solar is often the right choice when you're a tenant who cannot install rooftop solar, when your building has limited roof space or heavy shade or structural constraints, when you lack upfront capital for an on-site system, when your building has multiple utility meters (allowing you to combine a community solar subscription with a small on-site system), or when you need a quick timeline since community solar has shorter development timelines than on-site installations.

Evaluate community solar as one option alongside on-site solar, PPAs, and other renewable energy strategies. The right choice depends on your building's physical characteristics, financial flexibility, lease structure, and sustainability goals.
