The team will review your info, and send an invoice to pay the one-time $100 membership fee.

Upon payment, your spot will be reserved for an upcoming project. You’ll be provided updates throughout the development and construction process and reserved a VIP spot at the ribbon cutting!

Once the system is operational, you’ll begin receiving bill credits on your monthly electricity bill, reducing the amount you pay through Central Maine Power. Payment for the discounted bill credits will be due after you’ve received these benefits on your electricity bill.

Members subscribe to purchase discounted net energy billing credits from solar projects owned by the cooperative. This will reduce your electricity rate by 20%.
-
Because the coop owns the solar assets, prices will remain stable over the 20+ year term of the program.
-
Over time, profits beyond annual operating costs will be distributed to members, further benefiting member households.

Energy Democracy
