Meet the Choiniere Family
The Choiniere family was one of the first co-op members to jump at the opportunity to switch to clean energy and save money with this new program. They engaged SunCommon in two projects to place solar panels on existing buildings on their 500-acre property. Those projects will produce an estimated 115,500 kWh annually with a projected annual cost savings totaling more than $20,000.
“In the case of the Organic Valley Program, it was imperative that farms have no upfront costs, and that the projects would start saving them money from the first year. We have years of experience with financiers who share our values and with their support we were able to create this program for Organic Valley farmers that helps make the farms more sustainable, environmentally and financially.”
