Solar for the Home--workshop!

In an attempt to rapidly increase rooftop solar in Philadelphia, Clean Air Council and the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia are offering a special opportunity to residents of northwest Philadelphia. From now through March 2015, homeowners can use collective buying power to get solar systems for their properties, resulting in greatly reduced costs.

The next workshop will be held at Chestnut Hill Library located at 8711 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, January 17th, between 3:30 and 4:30. Register Here. Start your Saturday with a solar home tour in Flourtown at 1:30. 48 College Ave, Flourtown, PA  19031. Register Here.
