Have you ever discussed with family and friends how to escape utility price hikes by going solar? Not everyone can quickly throw a few solar panels on their roof and join the burgeoning community of solar-powered homes. Going solar doesn’t require leaving the grid; many solar-powered homes remain grid-tied so folks can use the grid source when the sun isn’t shining but can vastly reduce their consumption of grid power and suffering its ever-increasing cost.
Nicole Maticic, Program Manager with Solar Oregon will join us at our June 24th open public meeting to help us understand how solar energy and battery systems work and share information about incentives for reducing our dependence on the utilities. The meeting will be from 6:00 – 7:30 pm on Tuesday June 24th at the Medford Public Library, 205 S. Central Avenue, Medford.
This monthly program is consistent with SOCAN’s interest in encouraging Southern Oregonians to electrify their lives as much as possible. Nicole will be joined by energy industry professionals, along with local enterprises and non-profits that support homeowners in solarizing and electrifying their homes. The program will answer Southern Oregonians’ questions about the advantages and disadvantages of solarizing as well the financial aspects of reducing grid consumption of electricity including finding incentives.
