The Pennsylvania Solar Center is hosting an April 25 webinar starting at Noon for businesses, schools, municipalities and nonprofits interested in transitioning to solar energy to reduce costs and eliminate natural gas prices spikes.

The webinar will answer commonly asked questions and go over a long list of possible financing options that can make going solar for your organization a no-brainer.

The G.E.T. Solar Program provides free technical assistance on going solar.

With the quickly rising cost of electricity and the new federal incentives available for those going solar, now is the time to explore how going solar on your own property can save your organization hundreds to thousands of dollars on electricity bills. 

For example, just last year, the Community College of Allegheny County successfully went solar through the G.E.T. Solar Program and will save an estimated $750,000 in energy costs over the next 28 years.

And thanks to a specialized, yet simple financing package, CCAC didn't have to put any money down for the project.

Learn some creative ways your own business or organization can reap the benefits of solar energy by attending our informational session.

At the webinar you can expect to learn more about the following:

-- Federal tax credits and grants that provide a minimum of 30% reduction on the system cost

-- Free technical assistance from the PA Solar Center

-- What to look for when selecting a solar developer

-- USDA REAP program grants and loans that offer up to 50% for rural businesses and ag producers.

The PA Solar Center will even offer a free assessment of your company's solar potential — and can issue RFPs for estimates from qualified solar developers.

The PA Solar Center will review the bids with you and help you make sense of them — serving as your unbiased guide through the whole process.
