Participate in the Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative solar array program

A community solar array is one that is shared by several grid-connected subscribers. Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative (HCREC) member owners have the ability to subscribe and realize the benefits of solar without the hassle or investment of installing their own solar panels. Participants can reduce their monthly bill and hedge against future rates. They have no added property taxes, inspections, or insurance costs, and they can keep their load control rate. There is no upkeep or modifications to their property. Opportunities are available in our participation program for members of HCREC.
