That means you can go solar without installing a system on your roof - the savings guaranteed, and it's free to sign-up! Help us create our local green power system. You'll learn where the systems are being installed and we'll discuss opportunities for investment and even ownership in a program that benefits the whole community, including training and jobs for our low-income populations.
