About the Bond
Community Solar Bonds deliver triple-bottom line returns to members, offering economic social, and environmental benefits. The bonds are backed by 20-year government agreements under Ontario's Feed-in Tariff program and are secured by mortgages on title. Your $1,000 - $25,000 Bond is invested in lower-risk, already built solar photovoltaic systems that are managed by a team of experts. Join the "community power" movement, where your membership and investment in the co-op helps to deploy more renewable energy and democratize Ontario's energy system.

How it Works:
