What is Impact Investing?
Impact investing is the practice of putting money into 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.

SolarShare Wisconsin: Local Impact Investing in Action
At SolarShare Wisconsin Cooperative, we’re proud to offer a tangible way for Wisconsinites to invest in their communities while advancing renewable energy. Our cooperative model allows members to collectively fund solar farms across the state, turning their dollars into local impact:

• Local Jobs & Economic Growth: Solar projects create skilled jobs for Wisconsin workers and keep energy dollars circulating in our communities.

• Cleaner Energy & Lower Emissions: Every solar farm reduces reliance on fossil fuels, cutting carbon emissions and improving public health.

• Democratic Ownership: As a cooperative, members have a voice in decisions, ensuring projects align with community values—not just corporate profits.

• Accessible Returns: Investors can earn steady, competitive returns while knowing their money is building a more resilient Wisconsin.

By investing in SolarShare, you’re not just backing solar panels—you’re powering a brighter, more equitable future for Wisconsin. Together, we’re proving that clean energy can be community-owned, locally rooted, and financially smart.
