The Nuts and Bolts of California''s Self Generation

California is taking a bold step toward solar energy self-consumption. On May 1st, California will accept applications for a limited time rebate program that rewards homeowners for purchasing a battery storage

Off-grid Home: 6 Steps to Solar Self-sufficiency

AC hybrid systems include secondary power generation from a wind turbine. It combines solar panels for sunny days and a turbine for windy days. These systems are useful in many situations where energy is in constant demand.

Joint Estimation of Behind-the-Meter Solar Generation in a Community

This paper presents an unsupervised framework for joint disaggregation of the net load readings of a group of customers into the solar PV generation and electric load. Our

Solar Self-Consumption and Urban Energy

As usual, the self-consumption coefficient is defined as the ratio between the portion of the PV generation consumed locally and the total generation and, therefore, it is a measurement of the locally consumed solar

"Don''t Undermine Solar Self-Generation!" (October 2021)

"Don''t Undermine Solar Self-Generation!" (October 2021) In this letter to Commissioners and staff of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the Alliance raised our voice to support a

6 FAQs about [Solar self-generation in the community]

What are the benefits of community solar?

Community solar also delivers social benefits by enabling individuals who would otherwise lack the possibility to own an individual PV system to become PV adopters. In addition, community solar promotes local innovation, sustainable social norms, joint-investments, and self-governance (Roelich and Knoeri 2015 ).

How can community solar transform the energy industry?

Community solar provides a framework to transform the energy industry by combining group ownership, the imperative to decarbonize, and discounts of bulk-purchases, with proven and continually improving technology. Community solar is transforming the energy industry from the bottom-up. However, it is disruptive to the status quo.

Why is community solar more affordable than individual solar installations?

Economies of scale from larger installations make community solar more affordable than individual installations for PV adopters (Bauer et al. 2019 ), and, by aggregating the demand of multiple users, community solar tends to use more of the electricity it generates (Awad and Gül 2018; Viti et al. 2020 ).

What is a community solar garden?

A community solar garden is an example of a distributed energy resource (DER), a device or asset largely on the customer side (behind the meter), consisting of distributed generation, energy efficiency, voltage and frequency control, and storage.

How can a community solar system be implemented?

Programming can serve to eliminate the incidental barriers to community solar created by other policies, like securities laws. Publicly owned utilities are often considered to be a more favorable environment for implementing community solar.

Can community solar help solve home inefficiency problems?

Though community solar does not tackle home inefficiency problems, it can reduce the cost associated with energy use. Project developers can target subscribers facing an undue energy burden by including subscribers with poor credit, as the two situations may coincide.
