How community solar works?
A community solar farm is a collectively owned photovoltaic plant distributing electricity to multiple users.
The users are becoming self-producers (prosumers) and co-owners of the solar farm by joining HYPERION Energy Community as members. By becoming members, they are also purchasing cooperative shares and through them a portion of the annual power production of the plant.
The annual energy that is generated by the farm is credited to the member’s electricity bill, in proportion to his/her investment and shares (Virtual Net Metering).
