Community Solar Now for Everyone in Central New York With Upcoming Community Solar Educational Events Across the Region
Posted by Dustin Horton // May 25, 2016 // Local Business, News
Renovus Solar is bringing community solar to Central New York, with plans to provide over 12,000 households access to clean, locally-generated power in the coming year. Renovus is hosting a public meeting about community solar at the Cortland Beer Company on Wednesday, June 1st at 6pm.
Community solar opens the doors to virtually anyone who pays an electric bill and wants their power to be produced locally by clean solar power. Centralized solar farms, located on sites with perfect solar resource, can serve hundreds of households and eliminate the restrictions that have previously prevented people from installing solar on their rooftops.
For years, the environment for solar has been improving, with exponential growth in installed solar in the past year. Costs have fallen dramatically, Federal Tax Incentives have been extended, and now landmark community solar legislation in New York is setting the stage for a mass adoption of solar statewide. With community solar, customers are able to switch to solar for less than they currently pay for electricity.
Renovus Solar has been a leader in the local solar industry for the past 13 years. Recently, in partnership with the nation’s leading provider of community solar software, they’ve created a seamless platform that makes switching to clean, local solar power simple. The new online portal at renovuscommunitysolar.com offers everyone an real-time estimate of how much they can save with solar.
Everyone interested in Community Solar is invited to the Cortland Beer Company on Wednesday, June 1st at 6pm to learn more. These events are free and open to the public and serve as a platform for community engagement and a place to have questions answered. Everyone interested in switching to solar is encouraged to attend.
