We all know that keeping up with the cost of living isn’t getting any easier, and that includes the monthly electric bill. Fortunately, solar energy may offer a way to ease some of that burden, and you don’t necessarily need to install panels on your own roof to take advantage of it. It’s a concept that’s gaining attention and could offer some interesting advantages for homeowners and renters alike.
Our community contributor Ryan Lee speaks with HamilSun partner Mark Hamilton about the advantages of joining HamilSun and other community solar programs.
HamilSun is a community solar farm located on 10 acres of Hamilton family farmland in Peru, NY. The farm is home to more than 5,000 solar panels and is now generating approximately 2.7 megawatts of power for the electrical grid and qualified low-income households.
Community solar farms like HamilSun are operating throughout the North Country, with the goal of improving the sustainability of the power grid.
