Solarize seeing success
The Solarize WNC program — an effort to connect people interested in converting to solar energy with the resources to do so — is starting to see some success, with one solar contract signed and two more pending.
In addition, more than 30 people have enrolled in the program and eight energy audits have been completed — the first four forums drew a total attendance of about 130.
Up next on the Solarize WNC tour is Canton, with a forum planned for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 28, at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church. Forums are also scheduled for June 10 in Highlands and July 7 in Cherokee, with locations yet to be announced.
The forums include information about technologies; details about tax credits, utility rebates and financing; a chance to meet experienced installers and a question-and-answer session. By signing up for the program, people gain access to a network of vetted professionals in the field who will give their services in energy efficiency evaluation and solar installation at a reduced price.
