This project will be 200kW in size, consisting of a solar field of 448 bifacial solar panels on the Sheboygan Senior Community (SSC) campus. It was made possible with support from a $242,581 grant from the WI Office of Energy Innovation and $25,000 worth of donated solar panels through the Solar for Good Program, a partnership between the Couillard Solar Foundation and RENEW Wisconsin.

Legacy Solar Co-op coordinated this process and provided additional support by matching a tax sponsor with the project, which will help SSC save up to 40% or more on their energy bill. This is equivalent to about $35,000 annually. The installation will be performed by member installer Arch Electric, Inc. out of Plymouth, WI.

We are thrilled to be updating our Switch to Solar (S2S) program and providing our members and the general public with more ways to consider and counter their carbon footprint. We are also considering carbon footprint calculators in addition to educational resources about carbon pricing markets and how we collectively achieve carbon-neutrality in the coming years.

We’re also reaching out to partner with you in order to help subscribers counter their carbon emissions with the annual or monthly purchase of S2S solar renewable energy credits (RECs) and receive a green shopping perk! Research shows that 60-75% of consumers ages 18-40 actively seek green products and are willing to pay more for them. We believe we can help reach new customers with curated rewards connected to our Switch 2 Solar (S2S) program. For more information or to discuss your options, please contact the S2S Coordinator, Elise, at elise@legacysolarcoop.org or 608-957-9508.
