The switch has been flipped on Australia's largest community-owned solar farm at Majura, which is now powering around 260 Canberra homes.
Around 550 people from the local community poured $2.4 million into the project, with investments in the solar power plant ranging from $500 to $100,000.
Kaveri Chakrabarty was one of those investors, whose home in Cook is now receiving power from the grid.
"This is a good example that can be taken up by others and also a case for feasibility," she said.
