Another bright opportunity

YEC Community SolarRenew­able ener­gy is an impor­tant part of our future! Over the past sev­er­al years, YEC has received a lot of inquiries from its mem­bers in ref­er­ence to com­mu­ni­ty solar options. The inter­est lev­el was so great that your coop­er­a­tive made plans to estab­lish a com­mu­ni­ty solar project for you. Last fall, YEC con­struct­ed its first Com­mu­ni­ty Solar farm, Lesslie Solar Farm, in Rock Hill locat­ed off Spring­dale Road. And, the sub­scrip­tions to the farm were sold out with­in the first two weeks. Since then, the ben­e­fits of Com­mu­ni­ty Solar farms have become more appeal­ing, and YEC’s mem­bers con­tin­ue to want to have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate; there­fore, YEC will con­struct two more Com­mu­ni­ty Solar farms this year. Plans are now under­way, and we look for­ward to shar­ing the details with you in future issues of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine and here on our web­site.
