Solar Power

 

The Energy Cooperative is proud to be the first electric supplier in the country to buy its members’ solar power. Our goal is to change the economics of solar power. Under this program the payback time for a typical photovoltaic system can be reduced by as much as 30%.

 

Solar power is widely recognized as one of the cleanest ways to generate electricity. And contrary to popular belief, solar power works quite well in the Philadelphia area where we get as much as 70% of the solar radiation of very sunny places like Tucson.

 

And solar works best just when electricity is in highest demand – during hot, sunny weather.
