4 FAQs about Photovoltaic panels installed off-site

What are onsite solar installations?

Onsite solar installations are renewable energy systems deployed directly on your business premises. These systems offer immediate and visible benefits while giving you direct control over your energy generation.

What is off-site solar?

Off-site solar, also known as community solar or solar farms, refers to solar energy systems that are installed at a different location from where the energy will be used. These systems are typically larger, centralized solar farms that generate electricity for multiple homes, businesses, or even entire communities.

Is offsite solar better than onsite solar?

Regardless of the exact method, participating in offsite solar can have upsides similar to onsite. While both offsite and onsite options offer project structuring with no upfront installation costs and provide renewable energy at a fixed cost, the two system types ultimately can offer their own distinct benefits.

How do offsite solar systems work?

Offsite solar systems can be managed through an offsite or “virtual” PPA (structured much like an onsite PPA), where the developer owns and operates the system and sells the energy to the purchaser at a fixed rate, often lower than the standard utility rate.
