Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the community and (having had Rob Beckers' approval) I wanted to share some info about SolarShare.
SolarShare is Canada’s largest not-for-profit solar*energy co-op. We build commercial-scale solar systems throughout Ontario. Once the systems are completed and generating revenue, we refinance them with community investment—Solar Bonds—from Ontarians like you.
Our co-op membership consists of*over 1,275 individuals and organizations who have invested over $21 million in solar installations.*SolarShare*investors have earned over $1.5 million in interest so far, all while supporting the production of clean, green energy.
*
By purchasing Solar Bonds, here’s what you’re doing: You’re lending us money so we can repay the construction costs of*systems that have already been built and are generating revenue. Solar Bonds allow us to take our renewable energy future into our own hands. Together, we’re changing how energy works in Ontario.*
*
You can buy into clean energy with*two Solar Bond options:*
• 5-year term, 5% fixed interest per year,*principal paid at maturity in 2021,*$1,000 minimum (RRSP and TFSA eligible)
• 15-year term, 6% fixed interest per year,*self-amortizing, matures in 2031,*$10,000 minimum
*
Everything you might want to know about*SolarShare*Co-operative and the investment is on our website,*solarbonds.ca. Or you can respond in this thread or send me a private message.
Cheers,
Jon
