Couillard Canopies

Beautiful and functional structures that create a relaxing and protected outdoor space while generating energy, reducing emissions, and creating tax benefits

Our Mission

Couillard Solar Founation is a nonprofit organization that is urgently pursuing decarbonization for Wisconsin, creating a cleaner, safer environment for everyone, regardless of socio-economic status. We’re helping schools and nonprofits gain vital access to solar power, by providing solar panels, programs and education.

Programs

Solar For Good

Solar for Good is the first grant program created by the Couillard Solar Foundation. The Solar for Good initiative fosters the expansion of solar power among mission-based nonprofits and houses of worship in Wisconsin.

Solar On Schools

Wisconsin public schools spend more than $175 million annually on energy, the largest expense outside of personnel.  Solar arrays offer a unique way for schools to reduce operating expenses without cutting educational programs.

Couillard Canopies

Blending solar power with elegant design, the canopies are modular (suitable for residential, commercial or public spaces) and easy to install. All net proceeds from the sale of our solar canopies go to support the Solar for Good and Solar on Schools grant programs.

Our Impact

At Couillard Solar Foundation, we’re proud to be driving meaningful change in the renewable energy landscape. Through our dedicated efforts, we’ve successfully funded and supported over 250 solar projects throughout Wisconsin, marking significant strides towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Our commitment is reflected in the substantial over $3,000,000 in grants we’ve distributed, enabling communities, institutions, and individuals to harness the power of the sun.
