Harnessing the Sun: A Homeowners Guide to Solar

In this class, homeowners will learn about the current dependence on “dirty energy” sources like coal and natural gas, and how transitioning to solar can reduce their carbon footprint. The course will break down electric bill charges to reveal potential savings solar can offer. Homeowners will explore various financing options for solar installation, including cash purchases, loans, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and learn about available government incentives such as tax credits and rebates. The class will emphasize the importance of selecting reputable solar companies that offer robust warranties and reliable customer support to ensure long-term system performance and protection.

Homeowners are encouraged to bring a copy of their electric bill. This will be a pressure-free environment where they can learn about solar energy fundamentals without the pressure of home visits or immediate decisions. The goal is to prioritize education and understanding, allowing participants to explore how solar works at their own pace and ask questions freely. Unbiased information will be provided to equip homeowners with the knowledge needed to make informed choices about solar energy adoption on their own terms.
