The Energy Cooperative leases community solar panels to its electric members. The panels are owned and operated by Buckeye Power. Buckeye Power has installed solar energy arrays at 24 locations throughout Ohio for the OurSolar community solar project. Individual sizes range from 25 kilowatts to more than 2000 kilowatts. Local member cooperatives offer subscriptions to these solar farms as an alternative generation source. These subscriptions provide direct access to solar generation to electric members who otherwise may not have the means or ability to have their own rooftop systems. 

Members can subscribe to any number of panels up to the amount of panels where the yearly solar production of the solar matches the yearly kWh consumption for their service. When a member subscribes to these panels, it changes the Generation & Transmission rate on their bill, which was calculated upon installation and will maintain its value for the life of the arrays. The Cooperative only has a finite amount of panels to subscribe to, so feel free to call in with any questions if interested!

Let your cooperative do all of the work for you!

Renewable energy, built right into your electric bill, with none of the hassle of an at-home solar array.
