Can I share solar panels between two homes?

If you want to share the output of all the panels between the 2 residences (which is the most efficient way to ensure you maximise solar self consumption) then your only option is to consolidate the 2 meters in to one. An advantage of this is that you should save on standing charges (only having one official grid connection).

Can you build a solar panel in the mountains?
