Solar energy is proving itself to be much more than a source of renewable power – it’s actually a great catalyst for bringing communities together.

Solar power helps power entire households through the good times and through unforeseen circumstances. Yet solar energy also holds a great deal of potential when it comes to empowering a diverse set of communities.

Below, Geneverse goes over a few ways that solar power is bringing neighbors and communities together for the long haul.

The Economic Benefits of Solar

Households adopting solar can expect to see huge benefits in the form of significant savings on electricity, not to mention power ownership when incorporating battery storage. Federal tax credits help reduce upfront costs. In applicable states, state tax credits also help lower the initial cost of switching to solar power.

Not only this, solar power creates a variety of new jobs in areas like manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.

Community Solar Programs

One of the more recent developments in solar power directly benefits communities – community solar programs. Community solar programs take a more innovative approach and help make renewable energy even more accessible for the masses. 

Community solar initiatives might take the form of solar gardens or shared solar. These initiatives provide solar benefits to multiple participants, often the product of a single shared solar array. Community solar programs offer opportunities for solar power to those who might not have been able to install individual solar power systems, either due to location or living situation (such as apartment and home renters, or homeowners with shaded rooftops.

Community solar projects also contribute to local tax bases, providing municipalities with added revenue that helps further fund essential services for all within the community. 

Building Stronger Communities Through Solar Power

In addition to economic benefits and community solar programs, solar power also strengthens neighborhoods and communities in a variety of ways.

Switching to renewable energy sources like solar power raises green energy awareness and environmental consciousness. In a most basic sense, those who adopt solar are setting a strong example for friends, acquaintances, and neighbors to follow as well. Adopting solar power is a great way to demonstrate social responsibility.

Solar power also helps individuals living in rural communities. Those who adopt solar with battery storage are less affected by outages, blackouts, and other obstacles that often come along with living in remote areas. Typically speaking, when people have abundance, they tend to share their abundance with others. Solar power sets the table and the tone for bringing people together in rural and remote areas.
