The Community Solar Standard with Eric Partyka of Standard Solar
Q: How do people sign up for community solar, especially if they don't have solar on their own roof?
People typically sign up through local aggregators or subscription companies; they can join a project in their utility territory by signing a short, one-page agreement to buy energy from the project, with waitlists and options to move if needed.
