Twenty-one subscribers are leasing a share in the 680-panel, $650,000 project. Subscribers will be able to cover the cost of their monthly electric bill.
The solar garden was built by Shaw Solar under a policy approved in 2013 by the La Plata Electric Association.
LPEA customers who are renters, can’t afford the cost of a solar system alone or whose house is not oriented to receive sufficient sun can get into a solar garden project.
