PPEC has panels available on a first-come, first-served basis in both Paulding and a new community solar panel location in Findlay, Ohio! Contact us using the form below if you are interested in subscribing. Our Energy Advisor, Peter Niagu, will contact you to explain the program and answer any questions you may have.

The new facility near Findlay, Ohio, adds 2.6 MW of alternative capacity to electric cooperatives’ energy portfolio, bringing total solar capacity to 4.7 MW.

Interest in renewable energy is growing, but installing home solar panels is time-consuming and expensive.

So, let your electric cooperative do all of the work for you!

OurSolar is a community solar program from PPEC that allows members to subscribe to solar panels at our community solar fields. Members can subscribe to up to 10 panels, and the energy produced by those panels will be calculated into your monthly bill.


OurSolar represents PPEC’s balanced approach to energy production and support for economically-viable sources of renewable energy. It provides members with an easy way to include renewable energy in their overall mix with out the large cost and maintenance.


With the OurSolar program, all of the costs, including maintenance, are rolled into the per-panel monthly subscription fee. That’s it. We install it. We maintain it. And the power produced from your subscribed panels goes into your monthly bill.


We don’t think renewable energy should be a luxury or a hassle. Instead, it should be affordable to everyone and able to benefit everyone. That’s why we’re taking on this effort together — as a cooperative.

Save on your electric bill!

We believe that renewable energy should be within anyone’s reach, no matter their income. With our recent rate adjustments, OurSolar can actually save on your utility bill. Members can currently see on average a $5 saving per month with a 10 panel subscription. The savings are reflected as a credit on your bill based on the amount of power generated from your share of panels each month. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

Where is it Installed?

PPEC’s OurSolar array is located north of Paulding on Gasser Rd. Other OurSolar arrays are located across Ohio, including our utility scale array in Findlay, OH.
