Solar Share gifting

Gift solar energy credits to an individual, business, or nonprofit and support local solar generation for the next 25 years.

Give the gift of local solar energy

LG&E and KU Solar Share participants can support local solar energy in Kentucky that helps power our community in more ways than one.

In addition to supporting renewable energy and meeting sustainability goals, participants can also gift their solar shares to another person, business, or nonprofit organization important to them. Once a solar share has been gifted, that selected recipient receives the credits* generated from the solar production for the next 25 years.

For customers who have renewable energy and corporate responsibility goals, but don’t have the time or up-front investment to install solar on their roof or on their site, Solar Share gifting is a great option.

The gift of solar: features and benefits

No upfront or ongoing maintenance

There’s no equipment to buy, install, or maintain — making this an effortless way to support solar power.

Ways to gift

Individuals or businesses can donate in increments of $799 directly to our current gifting partner, Kentucky Habitat for Humanity (KYHFH) and the rest is on us! KYHFH then enrolls in our Solar Share program at a one-time subscription level with the intention to gift the bill credits to KYHFH low-income customers.

To participate in this donation option, fill out this form and our team will get back to you.

Ways to gift

Eligibility

Only one-time subscription solar share enrollments are eligible to be a gift.
The recipient of the bill credits* will see those credits1 on their bills for the next 25 years.
Each share costs $799 — multiple shares can be purchased in $799 increments.

Solar production

Each 250-watt share of solar is expected to yield between 18 and 38 kWh per month.
Factors such as weather conditions and time of year may impact production of the array.

Recipient requirements

The recipient must consent to receive bill credits.
If you are gifting your shares to a non-profit or individual, they must be within your same service territory meaning Louisville-based LG&E customers can only gift to other Louisville customers and if you are outside of Louisville, KU customers can only gift shares to other KU customers.

Enrollment location and timeline

Enrollment is currently open to the section** in Simpsonville.
Once we have reached 100% of subscriptions for this section**, we will begin construction.
When construction completes, the recipient of your solar share gift will start receiving bill credits1 from the solar energy array produced.

Important program notes

The term "shares" does not create or imply any ownership or investment interest.
Consult with your tax representative for deduction information. · Gifting monies are non-refundable and will be collected prior to the array being constructed.
Additional details can be found in the Solar Share Program requirements.
