Online Clearinghouse & Solar Loans

The Minnesota Credit Union Network, Hiway and Affinity Plus Federal Credit Unions worked cooperatively to build the website cu-green.org to provide consumers with clean energy information with a focus on finding qualified contractors, utility incentives and below-market rate financing for installing residential solar electric generating systems. These credit unions are also offering Solar Loans to help members make the investment. ​

Get Closer to Your Green Goals

Minnesota’s credit unions are full-service financial cooperatives owned by their members. One way their earnings come back to is through lower loan rates. Credit unions are committed to improving their communities in all kinds of ways, from increasing financial literacy to offering college scholarships and more. That combination makes Minnesota’s credit unions the perfect fit for helping people reduce their carbon footprint.

​Minnesota credit unions launched the website for CU Green in 2018, which is a clean energy lending platform developed to make clean energy accessible to more Minnesotans through educational resources to provide consumers with clean energy information.

The partnership behind CU Green originated in 2016 when leaders from Affinity Plus, Hiway, and First Alliance engaged with the University of Minnesota’s Climate Smart Municipalities exchange. Inspired by innovative programs and practices in Germany, these leaders committed to expanding clean energy progress in Minnesota.
​
Using funding from a grant from the Caroline Foundation, the Minnesota Credit Union Network, Hiway and Affinity Plus Federal Credit Unions worked cooperatively to build the website cu-green.org. These credit unions are also offering Solar Loans to help members make the investment in using solar energy.
Recognizing many Minnesotans find powering their homes with renewable energy out of reach, cu-green.org provides information on finding qualified contractors, taking advantage of utility incentives and below-market rate financing for installing residential solar electric generating systems.
