Solar power builds resiliency in our neighborhoods and encourages us to be good stewards of our air, water and earth. Solar energy is reliable technology with long-term benefits. This is true for individuals, communities and organizations committed to making financially and ecologically sound decisions.

Who is the Legacy Solar Co-op?

Legacy Solar Co-op is a Wisconsin-based, member-owned cooperative providing solar and energy efficiency products and services. Our goal is to bring people together to support local and statewide solar and other clean energy initiatives.

We believe that the future of our planet depends on taking action now. The “Legacy” in Legacy Solar Co-op refers to the endurance of the solar projects we support, which will last for 4 decades or more. It’s also a reference to the collective contribution we make towards a clean, renewable energy supply for our communities.

Our Vision and Mission

To build a sustainable legacy that helps protect the earth through the growth of solar energy. We believe that local control and local ownership of energy projects is the best way to build economic justice and resiliency in our communities.

What Does Legacy Solar Co-op Do?

There are 4 ways Legacy Solar Co-op pursues our mission of growing solar technology in Wisconsin.

Education

Through our newsletter, articles and presentations, we help interested people learn more about the benefits of solar and energy efficiency.
