Community solar refers to a solar array, five MW or less, located within a community where multiple customers, including households, small businesses, churches, schools, and local governments, can subscribe to a portion of the project and receive a credit on their utility bill for their share of the power the solar panels produce. Community solar programs expand access to solar energy, avoid the significant upfront costs of a traditional system, and provide an economical alternative to the traditional process of individuals and businesses placing solar systems on their property. To find out more about community solar and take action in support of the legislation, go to the WISCONSIN SOLAR COALITION WEBSITE. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Jim Boullion, RENEW Wisconsin’s Director of Government Affairs, at jim@renewwisconsin.org Thank you for helping to make Wisconsin a leader in renewable energy! |
