What’s next?  The Port of Coupeville would like to lease the other five “plots” at the Solar P-Patch, to other solar developers starting in June of 2011.  Island Community Solar is raising funds from local investors to build a second twenty-five kilowatt array this year. The long term plan is for private investors to build out the acre and eventually have the Farm take over the ownership and operation of the solar array, after the original investors have earned a healthy return on investment.

More members are coming on board all the time and we expect to increase our efficiencies and and member payback figures as we continue to grow. Solar array #2 is targeted for later this year.
