Green Energy Series #19: Making Solar Affordable through Peer-to-Peer Loans
August 3 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Seeds for the Sol is a non-profit, grass-roots organization taking action now to remove the financial barriers to residential solar. Our neighbor-to-neighbor funding model mimics the natural cycles of planting, harvesting, and renewal, helping more people put solar on their roofs. We’re made up of concerned citizens who want to repurpose the benefits they’ve reaped from a fossil fuel economy, passing them on to the next generation in the form of renewable energy.
