ABOUT SUNSHARE & COMMUNITY SOLAR
• SunShare was founded in Colorado in 2011
Oldest operating community solar developer in the country
• Community solar is a way for people to "choose solar" without having to install it on their roof
• Customers subscribe to the garden ($0) and pay SunShare for producing their energy
• Because you now pay SunShare to produce your energy, Xcel provides a credit on your Xcel bill
to reimburse you

WHY THESE LOCATIONS?
• Vacant lands
• No water rights making farming
operations uneconomical
• Solar Facilities will provide major
benefits to the landowner
• Proximity to Substations
• Available Distribution lines
HOW WILL SOLAR
CONTRIBUTE TO
AGRICULTURE?
• Landowner does not have water rights so farming these parcels is uneconomical
• Solar Facilities help keep land in ag production
• Fenced area will continue ag use with sheep grazing
• Contribute to Agrivoltaic research

AGRIVOLTAICS
SunShare is planning to partner
with researchers to conduct
Agrivoltaic studies
Plots of land within the facility
could be used as control groups to
study various scenarios
A partnership could contribute to a
growing braintrust that will benefit
Weld County landowners
The studies conducted at these
sites could help in understanding
solar on arid farmlands
