How GridShare works (step by step guide)
GridShare allows you to participate in the production of solar energy without installing panels on your roof. The idea is simple: instead of a domestic system, you buy a share of a shared photovoltaic park. From that moment on, you become the owner of a fraction of the plant and benefit from the revenues generated from the sale of energy.
1. Free registration
The first step is to sign up for the platform. Registration is free and allows you to access the available projects, performance simulations and the reserved area.
2. Project choice and performance simulation
From the dashboard, it is possible to consult the photovoltaic parks being collected. Each project is accompanied by an estimate of the expected returns, a technical description and a simulator that helps to understand which share to buy based on consumption or economic objectives.
3. Investment through a regulated platform
The purchase of the shares takes place through an authorized crowdfunding portal. This is a formal investment: you become effective shareholders of the company that owns the plant.
4. Construction and management of the plant
Once the collection is complete, GridShare starts the construction of the photovoltaic park. The company manages design, installation, maintenance, insurance and all bureaucratic aspects. There are no costs after the initial investment.
5. Start of production and distribution of revenues
When the park comes into operation, the energy produced is sold. The revenues generated are distributed proportionately among all the members. The plants have an expected lifespan of about thirty years.
In summary: the investor pays only once, does not have to manage anything and receives long-term revenues, with a turnkey model.
