Hopefully we can find a way to get these onto rental properties as well. Having the uptake of renewable energy strongly tied to home ownership is a problem when the rates of home ownership are falling.
I've heard about some pretty interesting ideas about a community-style Solar Garden, where you invest into a solar farm and the energy generated off that is offset from your bill. Which could work pretty well for rentals...
That's an interesting concept, I will have to look into that some more. I have seen small power co-ops developed for remote communities, but hadn't seen this decentralised approach before.
