What We Do
Our cooperative allows regular people and businesses from Wisconsin to invest in renewable energy projects located within the state.
Our Mission
SolarShare Wisconsin Cooperative provides an opportunity for regular people to invest in local, community-scale solar farms. We seek opportunities for our Member Contractors to develop, build and maintain solar projects creating family-sustaining jobs for local residents. These projects return dividends to our investor members, boosting local economies, while creating clean, durable, renewable resources that keep our energy dollars in the state. Together, we are building a brighter future for ALL in Wisconsin.
Provide Solar Investment for Regular People
We give individuals and small businesses an easy, low-cost way to privately invest in local renewable energy projects located within their communities.
Create New Opportunities for Local Farmers
Our solar cooperative projects allow farmers to diversify their operations while benefiting the local community.
Develop Community-Scale Projects
Our solar cooperative farms will have a capacity of 1-5 megawatts (enough to power 100 homes on average) located on approximately 5-40 acres of land.
Strengthen Wisconsin’s Solar Economy
