Install solar panels in your community of neighbours and save on your electricity bill

A photovoltaic installation can be for individual or collective use. In the case of buildings with several dwellings, the available surface area is often small, which limits the power to be installed. In these cases, we recommend an individual installation for the staircase, communal areas or lifts. However, if there are only a few neighbours or if there is sufficient surface area available for each of the participants, we recommend a collective installation.

Collective self-consumption is an installation in which the entire production is sent to the distribution network, which then distributes it among the participants according to a previously signed distribution agreement. To benefit from the production, it is necessary to consume during the hours of solar generation. Although the energy comes from the distribution grid, it is exempt from costs, tolls and taxes, as the energy that belongs to each participant is being injected into the grid.

The execution time of a collective self-consumption installation by Lumisa is similar to that of an individual self-consumption installation. However, once implementation is complete, it is necessary to apply for an access and connection permit from the distribution company, sign a technical access contract, and pass an inspection for the installation of the net generation meter. This process can be lengthy, as it depends on the distributors.
