Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) and the Ashland Climate Action Project invite you to a presentation by local solar energy enthusiasts Tuesday, October 26 from 6-7 p.m. Presenters include Jim Hartman from Ashland Solar Cooperative and Ray Sanchez-Pascador, from Solarize Rogue.
According to SOCAN, “One of the most effective actions individuals can take to address the climate crisis is to electrify their lives as much as possible. While this is very effective, even if our electricity is produced in a fossil fuel-powered generation facility, it is even more effective if our electricity is generated by solar panels, wind turbines or other fossil-free means. Unfortunately, not everyone owns their own home, or has a South-facing roof on which to install the panels.”
“Ray Sanchez-Pescador with Solarize Rogue will discuss successful efforts to provide community members the opportunity to own solar panels that are not installed on their roof but generate electricity that replaces what they take from the grid that might have otherwise been generated in a fossil fuel-powered generation plant. Jim Hartmann from the ‘Ashland Solar Cooperative’ will then discuss how this group is collaborating with Solarize Rogue and planning to bring the option of community solar projects to the Ashland community.”
The program will be held via ZOOM and is open to the public. There is no charge for joining the meeting, but participants must register.
