Virtual Solar

Sawnee’s Virtual Solar Program allows its members the opportunity to purchase solar power, regardless of the location. The electricity you receive is generated at off-site solar facilities, and you can purchase blocks of solar energy for an additional monthly rate. The electricity delivered to your home or business through the power grid is calculated and the solar energy generated from your panels will offset your traditional electricity usage. It allows you to receive your share of the sun without the hassle!

With the Virtual Solar Program, many members who are not able to purchase and install their own solar panels, for a variety of reasons,  can participate in Virtual Solar. Plus, there are other advantages:

• The size of a utility scale solar project brings the cost down compared to an individual system
• No holes in the roof and no need to worry about the orientation of the roof
• No maintenance and upkeep required
• No long-term contract or financing

Blocks of solar electricity are as follows:

Residential / Small Commercial - Rate Schedules "H" and "SC":

Virtual Solar Charge(s) 

Each block includes the energy produced by ten (10) solar panels. Energy output will vary for reasons such as cloud coverage, the sun’s angle and time of year.

A Solar Energy Generation Tool is located on the right side of this page. The slider bar enables you to view the actual historical output of the solar panels

Large Commercial - Rate Schedules "G", "LPS", and "SCHS":

Virtual Solar Charge(s)

Each block includes the energy produced by ten (10) solar panels. Large Commercial members may purchase a maximum of one hundred (100) blocks. Energy output will vary for reasons such as cloud coverage, the sun’s angle and time of year.

You can discontinue your participation in Virtual Solar at any time by notifying us. If you leave the program and decide to rejoin later, we cannot guarantee there will be availability.
