A campaign to introduce homeowners and businesses to the option of solar energy is underway in Jackson, Haywood, Macon and Swain counties.

The first in a series of forums exploring the viability of small-scale solar will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Cullowhee. 

The Solarize WNC campaign, a partnership of The Canary Coalition and Clean Energy for WNC, aims to outline a clear, profitable path for people, businesses, nonprofits and government entities to adopt solar and energy efficiency technology. The sessions will include information about the technologies; details about tax credits, utility rebates and financing; a chance to meet experienced installers and a question-and-answer session.  

Future forums will be held in Franklin, Waynesville, Bryson City, Canton, Highlands and Cherokee between now and summer.
