In brief: How investment works
Investing in a community energy project means putting forward money to enable the project to succeed. Your money will go towards buying assets, such as solar panels and equipment. Once the project is up and running, the power generated by the panels will be sold at a discount to the school or community building where it is located, creating a source of income. You will receive your money back with interest over the 20-year lifetime of the panels.
