Community solar projects in Wisconsin could generate up to 1.75GW of renewable power, according to a study conducted by the Wisconsin Community Solar Economic Alliance.

Community solar deployment in the US is set to be boosted by support programmes and clean energy commitments from state governments, according to Wood Mackenzie, which has increased its install projections in spite of interconnection challenges facing the segment.
