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:Electrify Everything (As part of Sustainable Buildings Week)
DESCRIPTION:Join Solar Oregon\, Forth\, Community Energy Project and others for an evening dedicated to electrifying everything. \nAs part of Sustainable Building Week\, we’ll be exploring the idea that electricity is the quickest and most realistic form of CO2 emission free energy. We’ll talk about how to switch household appliances and transportation to the most energy efficient electric form and finally how to provide that energy through renewables — ideally from local sources\, like solar on our rooftops. \nSolar Oregon will be presenting the “Average person’s guide to electrifying everything” and will be joined by Forth who will be presenting on electrifying transportation and Community Energy Project who will be talking about their work with heat pump hot water heaters. \nThis event is free and open to all. \nThanks to event sponsors Vacasa for hosting us in their Pearl Headquarters.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Sharing Electric Power in a Time of Need and Solar Oregon Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for our Solar Oregon annual meeting\, 5 x mixer and fascinating presentation on “sharing electric power in a time of need” \nPresentation \nThe magnitude 9.0 earthquake\, ensuing tsunami\, and nuclear meltdowns of 2011 showed Japan the importance of sharing limited electric power during the disaster and the year-long recovery. And Japan learned sharing wasn’t easy using their existing grid. They have set out to change this. Delightfully\, the investments needed to improve sharing not only increase the grid’s resilience\, but help the grid accommodate increasing amounts of wind and solar energy. And it pays for itself.
