With enough capacity to power over 600 Colorado homes annually, the 2MW and 500 KW Solar Gardens will serve businesses, residents, municipalities and low to moderate income service organizations in the greater Colorado area.
“We call these projects USS Giveback because that is our goal. We are committed to giving back to the communities that host our Solar Gardens by providing widespread benefits, like these donations, savings on energy bills, and bringing more clean energy online to the local grid,” said Reed Richerson, COO, US Solar. “Our largest donation to date will go to ten different organizations that are serving Pueblo and greater Colorado communities. We were thrilled to share these donations at the Pueblo Summer Solstice Festival.”
Local schools, food banks, health resource organizations, and housing support services are some of the donation recipients.
Community Solar makes solar energy more accessible, enabling multiple people, families, and businesses to take part in one large project.
“As a recent solar customer, I am now seeing the benefits of adding solar power in our community. What’s even more exciting is the benefit for the families we work with,” said Zane Grant, Executive Director, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA of Pueblo). “This community solar project will make a difference for our citizens by removing some of the financial burden and stress of accessing solar power while also benefiting our precious environment.”
The company strives to work with local vendors and partners, in a bid to bring economic benefit to the community as an added bonus to the direct financial benefit to subscribers. Community Solar Gardens also allow for important infrastructure upgrades to be made to the local energy grid.
US Solar has 14 Community Solar Gardens under development in Colorado.
