LPEA's Sunnyside Community Solar Program- A 4CORE Partnership
4CORE has teamed up with LPEA for their new, subscription-based Sunnyside Community Solar Program!
UPCOMING! LPEA and 4CORE are hosting an application event for the Sunnyside Community Solar program on Tuesday, July 16 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM at LPEA’s Durango Office, 45 Stewart St, Durango, CO 81303. Habrá ayuda e información en español. Learn more.
This community solar program allows LPEA members to subscribe to solar energy produced by LPEA’s Sunnyside solar facility. Members can access solar energy without the hassle of installing their own rooftop panels. Members then receive credits on their energy bills based on their subscription and energy produced at Sunnyside Solar. Approximately half of the Sunnyside Community Solar Program is specifically dedicated to income-qualified LPEA members. Another program portion will be open to any residential or commercial LPEA members under General Membership.

Solar and Beneficial Electrification for Underserved Residents
“This energy audit makes our space even more enjoyable for everyone…and we actually saved money the very next day!”
“Without 4CORE’s weatherization work, we would have never figured out why we were feeling so sick. The auditor found a leak of carbon monoxide from the water heater. Thanks 4CORE for making our home safer!”
