The Frances Anderson Center Solar Project ("Project") is a project of Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative. The purpose of the Program is to:

  • Provide discounted electricity to the Frances Anderson Community Center thru 6/30/2020, and potentially for many more years if the City of Edmonds desires.
  • Provide a way for the community surrounding the Community Center to support the transition to clean energy.
  • Educate the Edmonds community about solar energy.
  • Earn State of Washington Solar Production Incentives, and provide cash rewards up to the Wireless Solar Panel buyer's original purchase amount. 
  • Provide the Co-Op with the potential ability to direct future local clean energy benefits out of surplus funds at the end of the contract period. 

How the program works

Members directly support the installation of solar panels at Frances Anderson Community Center with their dollars. Members of the Program are entitled to the following benefits:

  • Your name promoted with the solar array you are supporting.
  • The ability to track the energy production of the solar power system you're supporting.
  • Annual rewards - each year for the entire membership period, the Program will provide each member cash rewards for each Wireless Solar Panel™ you own, supported by green energy production made possible by your purchase. (e.g. A Member buys a Cooperative Membership for $25 and a Wireless Solar Paneltm for $1,000 and receives $1,000 back - PLUS they own part of solar power system in their community. Member rewards are paid annually now thru 2020, funded by sale of power to City of Edmonds and by available incentives.)

Anyone may join the Co-op but only cooperative members living in the state of Washington may purchase Wireless Solar Panels™, and be eligible for all the incentives available. A member of the Cooperative may be an individual, a group of individuals, or an entity, such as a corporation or nonprofit organization.

Dec 28 11:25 [Carlo Voli] Yes!! More last minute SunSlice purchases coming in before the end of the year. I just decided to go ahead and get one SunSlice for my 16 year old son. I know of at least two other existing members who have already gifted their children with SunSlices in the last couple of weeks. Gifting a future of clean energy to our future generations. Way to go!! We are really close to reaching our target. Thank you to all existing and new members!!
Dec 26 09:33 [Marc Pollard] Just checked the post Christmas mail today and another $6,000 SunSlices sold. Thanks Brian and Joan Poor, Sally Zitzer, John and Ruth Jewell, and Lorn Ceder. Plus the many others.
Dec 19 00:22 [Carlo Voli] It is now officially confirmed that any resident of WA state can become a member of the Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative, buy SunSlices, and receive all the corresponding benefits and returns. Join us now, before the end of the year, to help us lock in the largest amount of Federal Grants for 2012.
Dec 13 12:44 [Carlo Voli] After 3 days and 2 nigths up on the roof, I'm now back on the ground. Great experience! Trusting it's helped to motivate many to join the solar co-op and be part of this grass-roots movement to bring local clean energy to our communities and green jobs to our State. http://myedmondsnews.com/2011/12/community-solar-activist-starts-his-own...
Dec 7 13:44 [admin] Coop member Carlo Voli will be occupying a rooftop in downtown Edmonds Friday and Saturday to bring more subscribers to Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative: http://on.fb.me/swTAGl
Nov 29 10:24 [Carlo Voli] Give a gift of a clean energy future to your future generations. This Holiday Season, why not gift your children, or grandchildren,some SunSlices™? You’ll be helping to create, right now, the healthier and more sustainable future we all envision for them. *Great opportunity to divest from some corporations that profit from dirty fossil fuels.*
Oct 20 08:33 [Marc Pollard] The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was very well attended yesterday afternoon, and the presentation by Chis, Stanley, Carlo, Bob, Mayor Cooper, Senator Chase, etc. was inspiring. Let's get another 30+ SunSlices purchased by our SnoPUD friends and neighbors and lead the country in community owned solar.
Oct 20 08:16 [Mike M] This is an amazing project!
Oct 14 10:36 [Carlo Voli] The ribbon cutting ceremony for Phase 1 will take place on October 19th at 1:30pm in the Plaza Room of the Edmonds Library Building, 650 Main Street. Looking forward to seeing everyone there to officially inaugurate the first citizen-owned Community Solar Cooperative in Washington State. This is what the future looks like: Community Owned, Locally Generated, Clean, Green,and Renewable Energy. Using locally manufactured equipment.
