If you’re, say, roommates in a house that has solar panels, you can do what most people do and split the electricity bill evenly—it’s just that, some months, your electricity bill will negative and you’ll all get a payout. If you’re in a condo or other situation where you share ownership of the roof and the solar panels with a household with another electrical meter, you’d have to work out sharing the profits/ cost reduction, but you could do it if you wanted to.
Good point—I’m not sure how to handle that off hand but people have been involved in business ventures where they have put in different amounts of capital for centuries, people could probably figure it out.

That seems like it wouldn’t handle cases where capital expenses (buying the system) weren’t split evenly?
