Trinasolar USA has announced that it is donating more than 1,200 PERC solar panels for use in solar projects in Wisconsin through its website Couillard Solar Foundation (CSF). The modules, with a total capacity of 479 kW, will power rural households, schools, non-profit organizations and other community organizations.
“We are deeply committed to supporting the Wisconsin community by actively participating in partnerships, promoting open communication, encouraging continuing education and collaborating on initiatives that improve the quality of life and expand the use of renewable energy ” said Melissa Cavanagh, Marketing Manager at Trinasolar USA. “This partnership with the Couillard Solar Foundation is a testament to our shared vision to drive positive change through solar innovation.”
“I am very pleased with this donation,” said Cal Couillard, founder of the Couillard Solar Foundation. “Our mission has always been to reduce the burning of fossil fuels in the most direct way possible. Since 2018, we’ve been donating solar panels to schools and community groups across Wisconsin, helping approximately 275 organizations install their solar panels. Thanks to Trina’s donation, we can expand this program so that even more associations can benefit from the support and switch to solar energy.”
Founded in 2017, the Couillard Solar Foundation works to promote the expansion of solar energy in Wisconsin through strategic partnerships with local organizations. The Couillard Solar Foundation partners with a local social service agency with a 60-year history of providing weatherization and other energy efficiency support to local residents. The modules donated by Trina will support the development of a new program aimed at providing sustainable energy solutions for rural households in western Wisconsin. Additional modules can be used to help schools and nonprofits transition to solar energy, promoting long-term environmental and economic benefits for the community.
