Cooperative Solar savings equal a free month of electricity for members

Solar panels in a field with bright orange flowers in the foreground.The aver­age house­hold that sub­scribed to two blocks (4 kW) of Coop­er­a­tive Solar last year saved enough mon­ey to get more than a free month’s worth of elec­tric­i­ty.

Mem­bers who signed up for one $25 block a month saved $172.28 last year, and mem­bers who signed up for two blocks saved $344.56—even after cal­cu­lat­ing what they paid per block.

Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive offers mem­bers the ben­e­fit of util­i­ty-scale solar with no holes in your roof and no con­tracts. Shared solar arrays—located in mul­ti­ple Geor­gia coun­ties and with mil­lions of solar pan­els and thou­sands of acres—give Coastal Elec­tric Cooperative’s res­i­den­tial mem­bers access to sus­tain­able, main­te­nance-free solar ener­gy with­out the has­sles and costs asso­ci­at­ed with installing pan­els on their homes.

Coastal Elec­tric Cooperative’s Solar Pro­gram allows mem­bers to choose the num­ber of solar pow­er blocks (lim­it two blocks or 4 kW) that work best for their house­hold and pay a fixed rate. The amount of ener­gy pro­duced by solar blocks will appear on the member’s month­ly bill just as if the mem­ber has rooftop solar pan­els.
