Community and Launch of Solarize Floyd

Solarize Floyd, a community based group interested in increasing the solar generating capacity in Floyd County, will hold a community meeting to launch its second program on Tuesday, October 16 at 6:30 pm in the Hotel Floyd’s first floor conference room.

The purpose of Solarize Floyd is to provide affordable and quality solar PV installations in Floyd County through a structured program that will also include financing options, local contractors, and a quality control process that will insure code compliant installation and equipment and a high standard of workmanship.

Solarize Floyd will also help to improve the local economy and contribute to a wider effort aimed at expanding and solidifying the regional and statewide solar marketplace. Solarize Floyd launched its first program in July, 2014 and the end result were 12 solar installations accounting for almost 80 KW of clean and renewable energy.

At the meeting homeowners will learn how the program is structured, how to apply and sign up for the program, what the costs are, potential financing options, who the local solar contractors participating in the program are, the types of systems installed and the brands of equipment used, and the quality control measures that will be in place.

Please join us on October 16 and learn how you can be part of a community movement that will help provide clean and affordable renewable energy opportunities. If you have considered purchasing and using solar panels to generate electricity in your home then this may be your chance to make that happen.
