SOLAR PANEL BUILDINGS OR APARTMENTS
In recent years, solar panels have become an increasingly attractive alternative to save energy and reduce electricity bills. Apartment owners often doubt whether the use of solar energy through solar panels is an option for them.
Collective self-consumption
In the United States, approximately 66.5% of the population lives in apartment buildings, which is why collective self-consumption is increasingly present.
Collective self-consumption works the same as individual self-consumption, except that the energy generated by the installation is distributed hourly among all participants based on the agreed distribution coefficient. All energy distribution is done virtually thanks to the mandatory generation meter for this type of installations.
Collective self-consumption benefits
Short-term amortization: the amortization of the initial investment is less than in individual installations.
Less initial investment: self-consumption installations involve a lower initial investment because the price of the installation is spread over a greater number of consumers.
Renewable energy: participants are contributing to the fight against climate change and reducing their carbon footprint.
Solar panels in communities
In addition to the previous factors, the costs of installing solar panels must be taken into account. These costs depend on the area in which the building is located, the size of the system and the number of panels to be installed. Although the installation of solar panels involves an initial investment, the savings on the electricity bill are much greater, making the initiative very profitable in the long term. In this article we offer you information about permits for the installation of solar panels.
