NH Solar Shares in partnership with many community partners including the NH Electric Cooperative, designs and installs community-based solar PV arrays. The program is run by the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative in Plymouth, NH. NH Solar Shares brings multiple wins to our communities:

 – Sharing proceeds generated from solar energy with low income families,
 – Increasing the portion of clean renewable energy on our grid,
 – Contributing to building healthier, more sustainable communities and
 – Addressing the issue of equitable access to clean energy in our region.

Each array is inspired by a task force of local volunteers and built using funds from grants, crowd funding, individual donors, fundraisers and/or the state’s solar rebate program. The first project was built in Plymouth, NH on land donated by the Common Man Family of Restaurants. It includes two solar pavilions and a solar education trail that is open to the public. The second project was built on donated roof space at Appleknockers General Store in Warren, NH. The initial goal is to install three projects totaling 125kW by 2022. The solar will be installed by NH solar installers with the help of PAREI staff and volunteers to prep the site.

In 2020, NH Solar Shares solar arrays generated $5900 in solar energy bill credits for 19 families. Solar energy is the gift that keeps on giving back…to families and our environment. If you would like to help us build our third array in the Plymouth area community please visit this donation link. https://plymouthenergy.org/donate/
