What is Community Solar?

More energy choices = more energy savings

Community solar drives down energy prices for Wisconsin families through greater competition. It’s that simple. Shared solar means you don’t have to own acres of land or a big rooftop to get the benefits of solar energy. Just like a Netflix subscription, customers can sign up to use locally generated solar energy from their community.

Protecting Wisconsin’s family farms

Thousands of American farmers across 22 states are earning billions of dollars for their communities through community solar. But because of government red tape, community solar is still illegal in Wisconsin. By giving Wisconsin farmers the freedom to use their land how they see fit, state lawmakers can create a new, year-round revenue stream for family farms across the state.

Support from every community

More than 1,000 Wisconsin citizens across 72 Wisconsin counties have demanded lawmakers legalize community solar, either by signing a petition or contacting their local lawmaker to demand they take action on community solar legislation (Senate Bill 226 and Assembly Bill 258).

TAKE ACTION NOW

In Wisconsin, lawmakers are standing between citizens and locally-sourced, inexpensive energy.

People are ready to embrace lower energy costs through community solar – and land-owners are ready to generate the energy that makes it happen. But lawmakers won’t let them. That deprives farmers of an income stream and small businesses of a way to reduce their overhead expenses.

Community solar ensures that everyone has access to the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy generation. Even if they don’t have their own solar panels.

It expands access to solar while building a stronger, distributed, and more resilient electric grid.

It’s time to bring this option to Wisconsin. Contact your lawmakers using the tools below to demand a choice in energy.
