Solar Empowerment Zones
Advantages
Economy of Scale
Lower cost per watt than
rooftop solar
Portability and Transferability
Customers may move and use the same
subscription. Subscription may be sold,
donated, or inherited.
Grid Support
Arrays may be located to best relieve grid
congestion, e.g. near substations.
Example: New York City solar
empowerment zones
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Ownership
Utility Owned
Utility owns and manages shared solar
array.
Example: Sacramento Municipal, California
Third Party
Utility contracts with a private company to own
and manage the array.
Example: SunShare, Colorado Springs
Cooperative
Array owned directly by community
members.
Example: Westmill co-op, UK
SMUD Solar Shares, California
Westmill Cooperative Solar Farm, UK
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Business Models
Direct Ownership
Subsribers own their solar panels by
simple purchase or secured loan
Lease
Subscribers lease the panels for a specified
period of time
Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA)
Subscribers purchase blocks of
power at a specified rate

Farming the Sun Community Solar
TREC Energy Cooperative, Ontario
United States
Over 50 Megawatts
Community and shared
solar in these 10 states, and
many municipal and rural
utilities.
Solar Gardens Laws
Now effective in 10 U.S.
States. Requires investor-
owned utilities to implement
shared solar.
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Other Countries
Developing World
Bangladesh, India,
Myanmar, Haiti - use shared
ownership models for rural
electrification
Developed Countries
Canada, UK, Australia,
Germany - use cooperative
models in concert with feed-
in tariff
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Sangar Island, India
Opportunities for China
World Leader in PV Installation
Growing Urban Population
Significant fraction of people in
apartment blocks
Strong manufacturing base, potential for
rapid implementation
High Savings Rate
Interest in secure and productive
investments, protection from stock
market volatility
China PV - Wikipedia
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
China - Policy
Incentives
Feed in tariff and virtual net metering
Assure residential customers are
adequately incentivized
Securities Law
Profit from shared ownership constitutes a
security - how can shared solar be
implemented under Chinese law?
Long-Term Management
Solar Garden O&M contracts 20-50 years.
Production guarantees, enforceable
recourse.
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Working with Utilities in China
2 Utilities in China,1000+ in USA
On-Bill Production Credit
Virtual net metering requires new
software
Potential for rapid implementation - or
nothing
Interconnection Policy
Streamline the process of connecting
distributed solar arrays
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
Solar Gardens Institute
Joy Hughes - Community Shared Renewables For China - Shanghai BASE 2016
