What is the point of getting involved in a community-led solar initiative rather than just doing it on my own?
There are a number of advantages to a community-led initiative. Firstly, this is a great opportunity to work with other neighbours and friends in dealing with humankind’s most pressing issue, climate change. You will be part of a group of like-minded people taking ownership of our challenges right here, right now. The large purchasing power and the due diligence of the community’s selection committee will ensure you will receive a very attractive price for your system and it will be supplied and installed by a competent, experienced contractor. You can also be confident that the hardware used will be top quality. Finally, a community group can help streamline permitting and auditing/rebate processes. Working in a community-led initiative takes a lot of the “guess work” out of doing it on your own.
