With the Ed/Glen Community Solar Program, StraightUp Solar will strive to increase local understanding of and investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) energy through community education events as well a company-sponsored incentive program.
From now through the end of October, 2015, StraightUp Solar will lead a series of community talks aimed at engaging active discourse about the local potential for solar energy. Current hot topics such as clean energy policy, jobs in solar energy, and solar for developing countries will be presented based on interest, as well as a thorough program on how solar works both technically and financially.
In the interest of inspiring communities to share in the decision to lead a clean energy future, StraightUp Solar will make a monetary donation to each registered nonprofit group with 3 or more affiliated individuals located in Edwardsville or Glen Carbon who choose to go solar.
Ed/Glen residents and business owners have until mid-November to take advantage of the solar installation community special which will provide Ed/Glen community members with solar installation packages discounted by up to 65% of market value. Anyone residing or operating in Edwardsville or Glen Carbon who would like to request a solar energy quote for their location may submit their information by visiting StraightUpSolar.com/edglen/.
StraightUp Solar has established a goal of 100 kilowatts (KW) of solar PV deployment to demonstrate the real economic, environmental, and community benefits of solar electricity as a direct result of this program. 100 KW of installed solar PV capacity, the equivalent of approximately twenty 5KW residential installations, has the effect of removing 90 metric tons of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere every year, the same amount as 73 acres of forest.
