Power your portfolio with the sun

"I met with an ethical financial advisor. He recommended SolarShare as one part of my portfolio. It’s a win-win; you get to help the transition to a greener economy and you get a pretty great return at the same time."

"I like knowing the money I invested goes towards something I truly believe in. "

"SolarShare is the democratization of power and renewable energy. This is a community who's building its own power infrastructure and participating in powering the province with clean energy."

"SolarShare’s great because they have a lot of talented people and the experience to operate and run the solar systems. SolarShare keeps money locally. When you invest, your money stays in Ontario and helps the economy of this province."

"I’m delighted to invest in SolarShare and support their leadership in the urgent transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy."

"Co-ops develop the ability of communities to do things for themselves; you don’t have to wait for a government program. Being a member of co-op and doing this good stuff also empowers you to do other good projects. It doesn’t have to be energy."

"I like the fact that Solar Bonds are motivated by a financial benefit as well as a community benefit as well as an environmental benefit. So they’ve got that triple bottom line value, and that means something to me and is worthy of my money."

"Solar Bonds are a great product with a decent return. I invested in line with my values and my belief in a profitable low-carbon economy."

"The way our society and economy is going is not viable. SolarShare is one small component in making it viable. The returns are decent and the people in the community are a pleasure to meet up with from time to time."

"SolarShare is one of the few investment vehicles that comes with true hope; you can invest in a lot of other things but you’re not quite sure if they’re going to be good for us in ten or twenty or thirty years—but with solar you can be sure."

"I just had my roof re-roofed and it cost a ton of money to get the solar panels off and put them on again. If you’re interested in contributing to solar energy, the BEST thing to do is give your money to SolarShare and they put panels on somebody else’s roof, which is more profitable and you’ll make a bigger impact."

"At CAPE we advocate for a healthy planet to improve the health of people. Investing in SolarShare allows us to put our money where our mouth is and rest easy knowing that we are living our values by supporting community-owned, clean, healthy, renewable energy."

"The Catherine Donnelly Foundation’s decision to divest from fossil fuels was motivated by a strong financial logic as well as a deep concern for environmental stewardship. Solar Bonds are an appealing investment that comfortably aligns with our environmental focus."

"We were pleased to find an investment that offered a good return, good security, and sustainability all in one package!"
