Resource Rural provides storytelling and communications support services to organizations that are working to build a brighter future for rural communities. We appreciate their work to create an article on our newest project, Chippewa Sun, which was designed and developed by member contractor OneEnergy Renewables in rural Hallie, Wisconsin.

Earth Day is a special day, and one we celebrate wholeheartedly at SolarShare alongside our members and project partners. Last week, along with Xcel Energy Wisconsin, we were able to provide a tour of the Chippewa Sun Solar Project to students from Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District and the Chippewa Falls Area Chamber of Commerce.

We talked with the students about this five megawatt project and explained that this project was an example of collaboration, which is the essence of Earth Day. We explained that the project was designed and developed by OneEnergy Renewables, built by Hunt Electric and owned by Standard Solar and providing clean, renewable energy for Pablo Group Properties, the City of Eau Claire - Government and University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

What a great way to show the next generation that together, we can build a brighter future for ALL in Wisconsin!
