Michigan is getting real about solar with a project aimed at bringing solar panels to areas that might not ever consider alternative energy sources.
The Solar Up North (SUN) Alliance Community Solar Project launched on Earth Day last year with a 224-panel display. The goal is to inspire the creation of more renewable energy groups to take the lead in their communities.
From Midwest Energy News:
“It’s more of a lifestyle statement,” said Tony Anderson, general manager of Cherryland, the co-op that has partnered with the municipal Traverse City Light and Power on the project. In its first year, the project sold out of all 224 panels and others are on a waiting list. Cherryland is exploring options for a second phase.
