Solar United Neighbors is hosting a Solar 101 webinar event to provide information and resources for those interested in solar energy. The program, which is a bulk purchase program, aims to help individuals and businesses make informed decisions about solar energy. The webinar will cover the basics of solar energy, the technology used, and financial programs with significant grant funding for rural locations.

Zach Schalk, a representative from Solar United Neighbors, explains that solar energy is not just for environmental reasons, but also provides control and independence for individuals. The technology has advanced and can be tailored to fit specific needs, space, and budget. Additionally, there are significant grant funding and tax credits available to help offset the costs of solar installations.

Registration is required for the free webinar event, which will take place on August 17th at 6:30 p.m. In-person events are also scheduled in Boone and Hamilton County. Virginia residents can also take advantage of free consultations offered by Virginia Solar Info to explore the benefits of solar power for their homes.

With rising electricity bills and a focus on renewable energy, it's worth considering if solar energy is the right choice for your home or business.
