It's Foster City's turn to go solar! January 15 marks the kick-off of the Foster City Solar Community Program, a green initiative to help residents learn about the benefits of clean solar power and have the chance to save 20% or more on solar power installation.
My name is Jeff Regan and I'm helping get this Solar Community Program going in my city. My wife and I went solar in October and now we'd like to see our neighbors do the same. It's really a great feeling to be able to do something positive for our planet without much if any sacrifice. Find out how below:
At 7pm, on January 15, we will, in partnership with Foster City based SolarCity, hold our first free Solar Seminar, one of five between the 15th of January and the end of February. Homeowners and businesses will have the chance to learn about the environmental and financial benefits of solar power. If they like what they hear, they can save a lot of money on solar installation, just as the residents of 15 other California cities have done already.
The seminars will be held on January 15, 22, and 29, as well as February 6 and 21. Such topics as time of use metering and selling power back to PG&E to pay for the solar system, as well as info on city, state and federal incentives and rebates will be covered. Pre-registration for the free solar seminars can be done at www.solarcity.com/events or by calling 1.888.SOL.CITY. The seminar venue is the Courtyard Marriott at 550 Shell Blvd. in Foster City.
All we need is for 12-15 homes or businesses to go solar and everybody saves money!
Solar power offers homeowners a way to invest in the future--it's a home upgrade that pays for itself while helping the environment. You could spend $20,000 on a new, fancy driveway that will pretty much just sit there, or you could spend the same amount of money and get rid of your electric bill, get tax benefits, protect yourself from energy rate increases and help save the environment. Try getting that new driveway to do that!
Why not do something for your kid's future and come to one of the free solar seminars?
