How it Works
Through our co-op, Wisconsin citizens, businesses, and foundations can invest in, and profit from, solar projects throughout the state.
Our Model
Our solar projects help create opportunities for local farmers who want to host a solar project, everyday Wisconsinites looking to invest, and for solar contractors in the community.
How to Invest
Impact Investing
Impact investing is the practice of investing in projects, businesses, or funds that generate measurable social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns. Unlike traditional investing, which focuses solely on profit, impact investing prioritizes positive change—supporting clean energy, community development, and sustainable solutions.
Member Investor
Individuals and local businesses invest as members in cooperative solar farms. As these farms generate revenue, dividends are distributed to members as the democratically-elected board deems appropriate.
Member Contractors
Solar Contractors may participate in the process via project management, construction, operation and/or maintenance. SolarShare WI Coop will look for ways to provide membership value to Contractor Members via new and innovative cooperative action.
