Legacy Solar Co-op Information

The Legacy Solar Co-op is a Wisconsin member cooperative that strives to reduce wasteful and polluting energy practices and improve economic and ecologic conditions for our planet for future generations. We do this through solar projects that focus on customer-based energy savings. Who Is the Legacy Solar Co-op? We are business owners, wage earners, volunteers, retired professionals, church clergy, teachers, bus drivers, farmers, entrepreneurs, homeowners and renters from all walks of life. We come together because we feel drawn to the logic and the appeal of clean energy for the future of our planet and our children’s safety decades down the road. We call ourselves the Legacy Solar Co-op because once we put a solar project into use, it will quietly and beautifully provide clean energy for 4 decades or more – long after a lot of us have left this world. We want to create a growing legacy of clean renewable energy that supports our communities for the long haul. Who do we help? For the homeowner, Legacy Solar Co-op offers consulting services such as an in-home energy analysis and solar feasibility study. For a church, a library, a school, or any other non-profit, we can help design energy efficiency and solar projects and help capitalize the funds needed to get the project built. For those who don’t own a home or have access to a sunny roof or backyard, the Co-op lets you invest in community solar projects through Slice of Sun Solar Bonds. You can help the Co-op advance the development of solar projects in our communities and earn a modest return on your investment. In addition, our Switch-to-Solar (S2S) program derives Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from Wisconsin solar projects and sells the environmental value of this green energy to our members for a price that helps support even more solar development in our state. The “Legacy” in our name draws from the long-lasting benefits that solar can provide us all.
