Description

Basics of Going Solar


This free workshop covers the basics of why solar is a smart choice in Oregon.

 

We will show you:

  • How well solar works in Oregon's climate,
  • Available solar technologies and financial incentives, and
  • How to choose a contractor.

Tax credits and incentives can pay between 50 - 80% of system cost. There has never been a better time to go solar. Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will prepare you to do more focused research on their own and start working with a contractor.

 

 

This workshop is free, but please rsvp to reserve your space.
