Cooperative Solar

CHELCO built a 494-panel, 120 KW solar array on the roof of our Operations Center. Those who subscribed purchased a share of the output from the array for a flat fee each month.

Interested in installing renewables?

CHELCO's net metering program allows members to connect renewable generation to CHELCO's utility infrastructure. Members who choose to interconnect can sell excess energy to CHELCO at our wholesale power cost.

Calculate the value of solar

To help members understand the potential savings and payback, CHELCO gathered metering data from its 5-kilowatt (KW) solar array in front of our Operations Center and obtained a current price to install a rooftop solar unit of that size.
