Community Solar Farm

YEC is excit­ed to bring this oppor­tu­ni­ty to our mem­bers. Mem­bers who are inter­est­ed can par­tic­i­pate for as low as $130 to start the pro­gram. Month­ly billing will fol­low the ini­tial fees at the rate of $12 per kW sub­scrip­tion. Sub­se­quent­ly, par­tic­i­pat­ing mem­bers will receive a solar cred­it on their bill at the rate of 10 cents per kilo­watt hour (kWh), which will be based upon the amount of ener­gy the farm pro­duces pro­por­tion­al to their kW sub­scrip­tion.

Invest­ing in clean, renew­able ener­gy is impor­tant as we grow into the future, and this gives our mem­bers an oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate with­out chang­ing the appear­ance of their homes, upkeep, and costs of installing their own pan­els.

Many of YEC’s mem­bers have con­cerns regard­ing installing pan­els on their home because of per­mit­ting and HOA reg­u­la­tions. Always look­ing out for our mem­ber­ship, we see this not only as an invest­ment in the future of ener­gy, but as a way to accom­mo­date the needs and expec­ta­tions of our mem­ber­ship.

YEC has proud­ly served the areas of York, Chester, Chero­kee and Lan­cast­er coun­ties for 75 years and has grown to include more than 58,000 mem­ber accounts.

Com­mu­ni­ty Solar pro­grams have been intro­duced by York Elec­tric and oth­er coop­er­a­tives around South Car­oli­na. The state’s 20, con­sumer-owned, inde­pen­dent co-ops have col­lab­o­rat­ed with Cen­tral Elec­tric Pow­er Coop­er­a­tive, their joint­ly-owned pow­er sup­ply aggre­ga­tor, to design solar pro­grams for S.C. co-op mem­bers.
