Solar Action Night! Save the ITC + Basics of Solar

November 7, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Free

Solar Oregon and Sierra Club are teaming up for a Solar Action Night this November.

We’re going to start with a “Basics of Solar Presentation” where we’ll hear about all the reasons for folks to go solar and all the ways you can do so.

Then we’ll do our part together to help Defend the ITC – (Investment Tax Credit). The Investment Tax Credit is one of the most successful clean energy policies in history and allows homeowners to receive federal tax credits for installing solar panels. Next year it’s being reduced and soon it will disappear.

With solar energy growing fast but still only at 2% of our national energy mix now is not the time to remove important incentives for families to install solar.

Pizza is provided but we ask you to bring another dish to share!

Note- we only have space for 40 at this one so if you’re plans change and you’re unable to make it, please update your RSVP and we’ll offer your space to someone else.

Join us November 7 and let’s Save the ITC!

Workshops & Webinars

Solar Oregon provides a variety of solar workshops and webinars. In our monthly How to Go Solar + Storage webinar, we will answer your questions about how solar works, share information about incentives available, and help you take the first step to add solar to your home or business. Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own, or start working with a contractor right away.

Our solar and storage workshops are sponsored by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash incentives to install solar and contractor connections to experienced trade allies so that obtaining solar for your home or business. Learn more about the incentives offered by Energy Trust of Oregon here.

With solar and storage becoming more accessible, homes and businesses across the state are installing systems. We also host solar showcases to highlight these projects and give you a chance to see how your neighbors and fellow Oregonians are using solar power.
