The new solar farm in Girard isn't the only new way to get solar power. There's a group coming together to help people get it at their homes and businesses. 

Solar United Neighbors has started a co-op in Erie County. It’s one of several in Pennsylvania. The Presque Isle Audobon Society is one of the groups involved. 

Their president said members of the free co-op will not be forced to buy solar panels. 

They’re looking for about 100 homes and businesses to join. 

More information about the co-op and resources is available here.
