The Project

BQuest contributed grant funding for community solar to New Hampshire Solar Shares' Appleknocker's General Store project in Warren, NH.

New Hampshire Solar Shares, along with many community partners including the NH Electric Cooperative, designs and installs community-based solar PV arrays that share proceeds generated from solar energy with low income families.

What They Are Saying

“When we first heard about NH Solar Shares and their mission to bring the benefits of solar energy to local families in our area, we were immediately interested. We want to support our local community in any way we can and we have the perfect roof for installing solar panels.”

-Tori Berger, General Store Owner
