It enables access to clean energy generation and cost savings, making it an attractive option for many consumers.
To ensure fair and transparent operations within the shared solar industry, regulatory bodies like the Virginia SCC play a crucial role in formulating guidelines and regulations. The recently issued proposed shared solar regulations are aimed at providing clarity and setting standards for the development, operation, and maintenance of shared solar projects in the state of Virginia.
