Community solar is a rapidly emerging model that combines the value of direct customer “ownership” of rooftop solar with the flexibility and economic advantages of utility-scale solar. The development of a community solar program by an electric utility is not simple and requires a coordinated approach to successfully enter the market. This coordination can vary depending on a deregulated vs regulated market. Certain locations may allow utilities to own generation.
Key questions to consider include:
What is community solar?
What is the state of the market?
What are the advantages?
What are the current models?
What are the latest implementation issues related to program design, customer motivations, and financial implications?
YSG has provided advisory services associated with Project Development, rate cases, and regulatory coordination to assist in the implementation of community solar deployment.
