Putting access to solar energy generation and surplus in the hands of home / land owners, businesses and even renters is a tour de force changing the energy map by restructuring supply and demand in the American market. American residents have produced nearly 6 gigawatts through community solar by Summer 2023 at the point of use with 6 additional gigawatts forecast by 2028. Nothing short of a revolution, power premiums are now determined by an open market with an exponentially growing array of suppliers ultimately benefitting the entire community including residents who do not have access to solar generation because they rent or don’t have adapted space for the installation of solar panels.
The structural change in the market is creating tremendous potential for growth, while insuring grid resilience, distribution and access to millions of Americans at reasonable prices favorable to low-income households. Some 40% of American states have set in place incentive strategies to encourage expansion of the program
The mean size of a deployed energy facility in the network is somewhere near 5MW and requires land allocation to reach yield objective. This land can may be returned to its original state in future. The development of a distributed interconnected web of micro-grids based in renewable energy is tremendous step towards reducing carbon emissions, liberalizing the energy market and producing widely accessibly opportunity – much of which is incentivized. And since the community numbers consumers who are not at all involved in the production of the energy itself, Energy Community ensures transparency and mutualized gains for its stakeholders.
GammaOne is actively involved in developing solar installations on farmland in the US bringing its unique approach of private sector financing, mitigation of market barriers, optimization of montage and above mean yield.
