MORGANTOWN SOLAR CO-OP

Neighbors in Morgantown and Monongalia County, WV, have formed the Morgantown Solar Co-Op.  The co-op will leverage the group’s buying power to save money on the purchase and installation of solar panels on co-op members’ homes.  The group is seeking more members.  It will host three informational meetings in May which will supply much general information to anyone who is interested in the issue:

·         Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 7:oo PM at Black Bear Evansdale, -(3119 University Avenue).

·         Thursday, May 7, 2015, 12 noon, at Downstream Strategies (downtown at 295 High Street, #3).

·         Thursday, May 7, 2015, 5:30 PM at the Shenandoah Room of the Mountainlair Student Union.

 

The session May 7 is a brown bag lunch meeting which is designed specifically for small businesses and farms that can qualify for US Department of Agriculture grants.

The Morgantown Municipal Green Team and Downstream Strategies and WV SUNare sponsoring the meetings to promote the growth of alternative and renewable energy sources as identified in the 2013 Comprehensive Plan. If you cannot attend a meeting or have interest in joining a co-op, please see www.wvsun.org/solar-coops/morgantown-solar-co-op or contact Bill Howley at WVU SUN atbill@wvsun.org.
