In the Texas Panhandle, a cooperative of ranchers and small-town residents has completed a 12-megawatt community solar installation that now serves over 2,000 homes.

Members pay an average of 22 percent less than the regional utility rate, and the cooperative reinvests surplus revenue into local infrastructure improvements.
