BRAINERD — The nonprofit group Solar United Neighbors announced the launch of the Fields and Forest Solar Co-op to help northcentral Minnesota residents go solar together.
The co-op is an opportunity for homeowners and small businesses in Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties to learn about solar energy and if it is right for them.
“If you’ve ever thought about going solar, now’s your chance,” said John Anderson, Minnesota program director for Solar United Neighbors, in a news release. “As energy costs continue to climb, going solar is a way to get a handle on your electric bill by taking control of where your energy comes from.”
The solar co-op is free to join and open to homeowners and business owners in the five-county region. Together, solar co-op members will learn about solar energy and leverage their numbers to purchase individual solar systems at a competitive price and top quality.
