The New Green Energy Economy Belongs to
Everyone
Why Green Energy?
It’s good for the environment.
It makes money.
It’s decentralized.
The Affordability of Green Power
the Co-op makes the benefits of green energy available to all through the power of collective investment and organization.
by pooling very small investments, we can finance solar installations and share the profits equally among contributing members.
Lowering the bar for investment: literally anyone could join and invest
The Co-op Organization
The Co-op is good for renters. Solar doesn’t need to be on your roof to do good, and make money back.
The Co-op model is equitable. In the Co-op, money doesn’t equal voice, so the Co-op is community owned and collectively run.
The Co-op can serve as a model for other communities.
