SUMMARY:Webinar on Heat Pump Hot Water Heaters - Game Changers in Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will take place on Tuesday 3/31 at 7pm. We’ll post access details for the webinar several days before. \nWe hope our entire community is faring well during these challenging times. Since all events in person are necessarily postponed for the foreseeable future\, we thought we would move our work online where we can still meet and discuss our region’s transition toward clean energy. \nHere at Solar Oregon we’re working on a series of webinars featuring fascinating topics to help us pass this unprecedented period of being at home. Our first discussion will be part of our Go Zero program and will talk about Heat Pump Water Heaters – Game Changers in Efficiency. \nWhy be so excited and devote an entire webinar to a water heater? Because heat pump technology is 3 to 4 times more efficient than other ways to heat and can save money and energy and help us all Go Zero. \nThese water heaters are relatively new so need some introduction and explanation and we hope you’ll join us to learn more!

SUMMARY:Energy Resilience with Solar + Storage
DESCRIPTION:Solar and batteries are fueling a transformation of the energy grid\, and together they can be vital a resource during a power outage. This ‘energy resilience’ is especially important in the Pacific Northwest due to our significant earthquake hazard. Luckily\, as costs decrease this technology is becoming accessible to home and business owners\, as well as public institutions. Come learn all about solar + batteries (a.k.a. ‘storage’) as we lead a discussion with regional experts\, as well as homeowners who know the benefits first hand. Speakers include: \n\nJonna Papaefthimiou – Portland Bureau of Emergency Management\nAdam Schultz – Oregon Department of Energy\nDan Bihn – Professional energy communicator and storyteller\nZach Snyder – Solar Oregon\n\nWould you like to connect with the Solar Oregon community? Come early for a special member happy hour from 5-7 PM. Both events are free and open to the public. \nSolar Oregon Happy Hour: 5-7 PM \nMain Event: 7-9 PM

SUMMARY:Solar Action Night! Save the ITC + Basics of Solar
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon and Sierra Club are teaming up for a Solar Action Night this November. \nWe’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.  \nThen 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. \nWith 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. \nPizza is provided but we ask you to bring another dish to share! \nNote- 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. \nJoin us November 7 and let’s Save the ITC!

SUMMARY:Oregon's New Solar Rebate Explained
DESCRIPTION:After the huge disappointment of the defeat of Oregon’s landmark environmental law House Bill 2020\, we got great news on June 29th that HB 2618\, Solar Rebates for All\, passed the Oregon Senate and now heads to the Governor for her signature. Huge congratulations to our sister organization OSEIA for moving this important new bill to the finish line and getting new Solar rebates for Oregonians! We haven’t had state level support for solar since late 2017 and will now have it! \nSolar Oregon will be hosting an event to explain these new rebates and tell the story of how they got passed with executive director of OSEIA\, Angela Crowley-Koch. Join us! \nWe are asking for a $3 suggested donation to help us cover the ball room rental of Oregon Public House.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen as a Fuel Source- Taking Renewable Energy Beyond the Grid
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon is excited to host Ken Dragoon\, Executive Director of Oregon’s own Renewable Hydrogen Alliance for a talk on Hydrogen as a clean fuel source. \nImagine a technology that can:\nBoost the value of solar generated power;\nUse solar electricity to reduce carbon emissions in heating\, transportation\, and manufacturing sectors;\nProvide gigawatt-scale balancing services to electric grids;\nSolve the riddle of seasonal renewable electricity storage; and\nExpand the market for renewable resources by factors of two to four\, potentially with little or no new transmission capacity. \nToo good to be true? Ken will explain how creating fuels with renewable electricity can\, and will do all these things. This is not your father’s hydrogen economy\, it’s real and it’s now. Preview his talk with this 15 minute interview on KXRY from April 24.
