Solar power is going communal in rural England.

A group of community members about 75 miles west of London have launched a citizen takeover of a 5 megawatt solar photovoltaic array, aiming to buy it back from the financiers who helped it get built on a farmer's land a year ago. Through a share offering, the group is hoping to create the world's largest cooperatively owned solar farm.
