Plants have been harvesting solar energy for about a billion years. Yet, 
humans have been supplying less than 1% of our energy needs with the 
power of the sun. But things are finally changing, and they’re changing 
fast.
Why does solar energy make sense now? Because there are so many 
different ways to participate. The state and federal governments have 
put laws in place to enable creative business models that put solar 
energy equipment where it does the most good. One model being developed 
on Cape Cod is the Community Solar Garden™, a cooperative approach to 
share the costs and benefits of solar. This provides a way for many who 
can’t afford the solar equipment or don’t have a good location for solar 
exposure to be a part of something great!
