The Marquette Board of Light and Power created a community solar garden and we bought two panels in it! As of September 19, it has been actively producing clean renewable energy. Marquette is the first and only community solar garden in the Upper Peninsula.
The solar garden gives energy customers a green option without having to install solar energy equipment on their homes or businesses. It is is composed of 480 solar panels that each generate 382 kilowatt hours per year. Any Marquette Board of Light and Power customer in good standing is eligible to purchase one of the panels. They help to offset the amount of fossil fuel energy which is a big deal when it comes to the health of our planet.
Solar energy is a huge step towards changing our current destructive systems. We are so proud to be able to support this project and hope to purchase more panels in the future.

My wife picked out the ring while on vacation in Marquette area. Had it “put aside” while she thought about how bad she wanted it. Gonna surprise her on Sweetest Day—
Every thing is great so far-I’ll let you know the outcome...
All of your jewelry is beautiful. Nice to have a piece of home
Everything about it is wonderful
Beautiful picture
Love the design and the size. Perfect.
This charm is very nicely made and a very beautiful design.
This ring for me gives me a peace of MQT summers, of the lush greens and full trees. Beth is able to share so many of her local experiences into her jewelry which I can appreciate. Leaves me peaceful...
I was raised in the U.P. and have a deep love of Lake Superior and agates, and many of my family members on my mother's side worked in the copper mines. (Plus Beth and I are both alums of NMU.) When I saw this pendant, I realized that not only did it look beautiful, but it represented so much of who I am.
When it arrived, I was stunned at how beautiful it is.
I have a number of other Beth Millner pieces, all of which I love, but this one is particularly special. I have a chain from the shop, but can't help but think that a braided copper chain would be a perfect match.
Every time I look down at this ring on my hand, I feel transported into a favorite place, the rustic U.P. woods: surrounded by green leaves & branches galore. The double band combined with a twig-like appearance really catches my eye, with a natural greenstone front & center. Well done BMJ team!
