It all starts with the sun, which is really one big power plant. It’s making energy all the time, and beaming that energy at the Earth in the form of light.
When light hits most objects—your skin, for instance—it turns into heat. But plants turn sunlight into food...and solar panels turn it into energy we can use.
Co-op Solar panels are connected with our energy grid, where the solar energy mixes with all the other energy—like filling a water bucket from two different faucets.
Adding solar, wind, and other green energy means homes, schools, farms, and businesses across our region can rely less on non-renewable energy—keeping our air, water, and land cleaner.
You can realize the benefits of solar energy when you sign up for Co-op Solar from your local electric cooperative. We handle the operation and maintenance of the solar equipment; you get the green energy. It’s a no-fuss solar program from people you know and trust—and it’s available to every one of our co-op members (even renters!).
Why do we say “no-fuss?” Because with Co-op Solar, you don’t have to worry about sizing, installing, or taking care of rooftop panels. Instead, we connect you to our solar arrays across the Midwest. And there are other benefits, too.
For example: When it’s cloudy where you live, a rooftop solar array may not make much energy. But Co-op Solar connects you with solar arrays across Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri—and it’s a good bet the sun’s shining over some of them.
With Co-op Solar, you’re still connected to the grid through your local electric cooperative. That means when the sun goes down, nothing changes: You still have the energy you need, day and night, with your local electric co-op looking out for you.
