Community PV

Prepared by MicroEnergy International GmbH with the collaboration of Davide Forcella (CERMi-ULB), 2014

Community PV (Photovoltaic) is a solar power system that provides energy to the community, requiring either an individual investment or a community investment. An optimized site should be chosen and qualified skills and commitment are necessary to install and maintain the system. Community PV provides improved economies of scale and local job generation and also offers the potential to expand the participation to renters.
