Clean Energy Coalition is excited to announce the launch of the XSeed Energy project, Ann Arbor's community power project!
About XSeed Energy
Did you know that over 97% of Ann Arbor’s energy comes from non-renewable sources? We can change this. It's time to take our energy future into our own hands and create local renewable sources of energy.
In 2010, XSeed Energy will be installing a highly visible solar array in the Ann Arbor area, utilizing funding from our community! Proceeds from financial incentives, additional donations, and sponsorships will be recycled back into a ‘Solar Bank’ to fund ongoing solar installations. Our goal is to ‘seed’ community owned solar projects all over Ann Arbor.
We know that moving our community towards renewable energy is an important goal for many of us in the Ann Arbor area. We want to give everyone in our community a chance to support this goal, including people who are not able to put a solar energy system on their own property or business. This project will allow all of us to support homegrown, reliable non-polluting energy projects in our community. The Ann Arbor area can and should be leading the drive to demonstrate that it is not only possible, but crucial, to replace fossil fuels with locally-generated sustainable energy sources.
Clean Energy Coalition intends to use the visibility and community support of the project to catalyze widespread adoption of solar energy technology, growing jobs in Michigan’s renewable energy sector.

All contributors will receive a free XSeed Energy Supporter bumper sticker. Contributors of over $100 will be listed at the installation site. We’re happy to provide a solar panel donor certificate if you’d like to support XSeed Energy as a holiday gift for a friend or family member.
We’re also seeking major business, organizational, and individual project sponsorships for this project. To learn more about benefits for sponsorships above $500, click here.
