Solar Gardens: Power to the People - Environment - Utne Reader

With solar gardens, or community-owned solar power, neighbors team up to buy panels and share the benefits of renewable energy through virtual net metering.

Sure, solar power is clean and renewable—but in most cases it's also expensive and impractical. In fact, when roof angle, direction, and shade are taken into account, only 20 percent of American households capture enough rays to make solar useful—and potential payoff won't help with a down payment on panels.
