Riverside Tenants’ Solar Co-op
180 kW of solar on four apartment roofs, owned and run by the people who live under them.
68% funded · $122,400 of $180,000
When it’s done: About $310 a year off each household’s power bill, and 140 tonnes of CO₂e avoided each year.
It started with a meeting in a laundry room. The tenants of four buildings on Elm Street wanted lower bills and a say in where their power came from.
EverAlliance matched them with a solar engineer, helped them form a co-op, and is pooling gifts and a foundation grant to pay for the panels. The co-op owns the system; the savings stay in the buildings.
