University Park Community Solar LLC4313 Tuckerman St., University Park, Maryland, United States

The University Park (UP) Community Solar LLC is a limited liability company of Maryland residents that have just developed a solar power generation site in our community.  This centralized solar generation site is intended to produce sufficient kilowatt hours (kWh) to replace a significant amount of electricity otherwise purchased from the local  utility.  Clean solar electricity substitutes for fossil-generated electricity and stabilizes our electric rates.Solar panels were installed on our host site, University Park Church of the Brethren , by an outside expert, Standard Solar, Inc. They also maintain the panels.  With the proceeds from purchases of membership interests, the LLC bought the panels and paid for the installation.  The Church has begun to purchase the power produced by the solar panels from the LLC. The LLC also sells its solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) earned from generating  renewable energy.
