Community solar now available to Barkan communities

Unlike the more common ‘behind the meter’ solar, where solar panels are installed on a building or property, community solar allows businesses to effectively purchase solar energy from panels that are not on its property and not owned by the business itself. The utility will then recognize each subscriber as participating in the program and will issue energy credits on the subscriber’s utility bill.
