Rooftop solar is not an option for everyone. Renters, apartment residents, and homes with shaded or unsuitable roofs have long been left out. Community solar changes that. PrismFlow develops shared solar gardens and lets households and small businesses subscribe to a slice of the output, turning access to clean power into a question of choice rather than property.
Capturing light for the many
A community solar garden is a mid-scale array, typically one to ten megawatts, sited on open land, a warehouse roof, or a brownfield, and built to the same high-efficiency standard as our utility projects. Bifacial modules and smart inverters maximise output, and every kilowatt-hour is generated locally and fed into the regional grid.
Subscribers are allocated a share of production, and the energy they are credited for is real power from a real array down the road.
Smart infrastructure behind the bill
The complexity sits in the software. PrismFlow's billing platform meters total generation, divides it across subscribers, and applies virtual net-metering credits directly to each participant's utility bill. A subscriber app shows your share's live output and monthly savings, making an abstract idea tangible.
- No rooftop, equipment, or maintenance required
- Virtual net-metering credits applied to your bill
- Subscriptions you can transfer if you move
- Allocations reserved for low-income households
- Live output tracking through a subscriber app
Seamless integration into the community
Beyond savings, community solar keeps energy spending and ownership local. PrismFlow partners with municipalities, housing providers, and co-operatives to reserve capacity for low-income residents and to reinvest in the neighbourhoods the projects serve. Joining takes minutes and requires no installation, no contractor, and no upfront cost.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Community solar requires no panels, no equipment, and no maintenance. You simply subscribe to a share of a nearby array and receive credits on your bill.
How do I actually save money?
Your share of the garden's output is applied as virtual net-metering credits on your utility bill, typically saving subscribers around 15% with no upfront cost.
What if I move house?
As long as you stay within the same utility service area, your subscription moves with you. If not, it can usually be transferred to another resident.
Who can participate?
Renters, apartment dwellers, businesses, and homeowners with unsuitable roofs are all welcome, and many projects reserve capacity for low-income households.
