Ravalli Electric Co-op to expand solar project

The Ravalli Electric Co-op is expanding their solar project called Valley Solar. The first phase of a 25-kilowatt system with 88 panels sold quickly to co-op members prompting the move to a second phase.

REC Communications Specialist, Alyssa Barnes, said the staff was unsure how quickly the panels would sell.

"We started taking reservations in October and there were definitely a few slow periods, but by the end of the year we had more buyers than the handful of panels we had left," Barnes said.
