Solar cooperatives: discussion on how to gain better scale economies, and local business economies, from development of solar PV models that achieve both environmental AND economic benefits. Today, regulatory hurdles, cost, education, awareness, are all impediments to development.

There are many business models being developed around the country right now, with varying success. Further research is needed to find if any are suited to our local area. Ideally, no investment is made by the utility, and renewable energy is created locally, bringing various local economy benefits. Ultimately, more people can get involve on renewable energy.
