Renewables
Heartland REMC stands ready to work with members who want to pursue wind or solar (renewable) energy.
You Choose:
Want to go green without the hassle of installing equipment at your home? Consider our Co-op Solar program. Unlike individual rooftop solar systems, Co-op Solar is a “community solar” system—a larger system that allows many co-op members to get the benefits of solar power through a connection to solar arrays across the Midwest.
As a member of Heartland REMC you can enter the program by purchasing shares that are $.67 apiece. A member household can purchase up to 20 shares. The cost of the solar share is billed as an additional charge on your monthly Heartland REMC bill. If you agree to purchase a share you are opting into the program for 12 months. There is no KWH reimbursement on shares that are purchased.
If you would like to purchase shares or if you have additional questions, please reach out to Garrett Keiser at 260-758-3155.

If you prefer to install your own renewable generator at your home or business, we can help you with that too. Below you will find several documents which will help explain the different areas including the requirements that must be considered first. If you have technical questions regarding the installation of this equipment, contact our office.
