ACEC unveils new Community Solar project ...

Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative (ACEC) employees and board of directors members held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate completion of the Cooperative's Community Solar project, known as ACEC SunSource. The 100-kilowatt array is located at the Cooperative’s headquarters facility near Postville. It contains 360 panels; each panel is comprised of a primary, south-facing panel and a secondary, north-facing panel. Effective July 1, ACEC member-owners participating in the Community Solar project will begin earning energy credits. The solar project offers Cooperative members the opportunity to power their homes with solar without a signifi cant fi nancial investment or installing and maintaining their own solar array. By grouping solar panels together, costs can be shared and power output can be maximized. Visit acrec.com to view today’s solar production. Subscriptions are offered on a per-panel basis for varying lengths of time. Initial subscriptions will be limited to a maximum of 10 panels.
