Generating about 3.4 GW or 3% of U.S. solar, NREL lists almost 1,600 community solar projects (a.k.a. solar gardens) that power 650,000 homes. With more than 4.3 GW coming online in the next 5 years, the US hopes to power 5 million homes with community solar by 2025, saving customers $1 billion. The opposition and competition is increasing.
