Scores of new small solar farms that sell clean, local electricity directly to customers are popping up. The setup, dubbed “community solar,” is designed to bring solar power to people who don’t own their own homes or can’t install panels — often at prices below retail electricity rates.

    To be honest, I am still trying to figure out what problem it solves. People should not live in deserts, that’s a given, but in most places, centralized healthy, pressurized, reliable water seem preferable to me. I get that some people want maximum autonomy for their home, and I respect that desire, but that’s a matter of personal preferences, not really a necessity of a sustainable world. But it is interesting to know that it is doable even in arid zones, thanks.
