2 MW Community Solar Farm PV Project in Colorado, USA

A recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory report indicates that 49% of households and 48% of businesses are unable to have a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system on their rooftops because they don’t own the building, or they don’t have ideal roof space.

Community solar addresses this issue and makes a clean energy option available to more people.
