  • With community solar , you still own a panel and get to enjoy low-cost, sustainable energy, although your panel isn't physically on your property. Instead, it's designed and constructed according to your needs, then housed off-site in a suitable, shared location. From there, the power it generates ties right back into the grid, providing you with affordable and reliable renewable energy., So, what does this mean for you?,   For starters, you don't need to keep a panel on your property or worry about owning a home at all, meaning renters can reap the benefits of solar power too.   Even better, because the power your panel generates goes back into the grid, you can move anywhere within that grid and still maintain your benefits.   Moving outside the grid?
