Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative (PSREC) is pleased to offer community solar to its members. Purchasing solar power from PSREC’s Community Solar Program is a great option for members who may not want to make the large up-front investment in a solar system, are renting, or live in an area with shading where a solar system would not produce optimal energy output. Community solar is a great way to use renewable power without solar panels on your roof as well as providing members solar energy that is maintenance free to them. Note: Blocks are sold in 100 Kilowatt-hour blocks.
PSREC is offering members the choice of a monthly adder to their existing rate or a one-time upfront fee to participate in the PSREC Community Solar Program. See the table below for more information on pricing. When purchasing solar with the one-time upfront fee, members will save on the cost of their power purchased through the program.
Blocks of 100 Kilowatt-hours per month are available from the Co-op Solar Program
