Subject: Solar Urbana-Champaign is back!
Solar Urbana Champaign is back for 2022
2022 marks the seventh year for the Solar Urbana Champaign program. Since 2016, this non-profit-led program has educated 1,292 people about their solar opportunities with our Solar Power Hours presentations, and of those folks, 242 properties decided to go solar.
In partnership with our competitively-selected installer, GRNE Solar, and with support from the Citizens Utility Board (CUB), the City of Urbana, and our growing partners, we're excited to help central Illinois residents go solar and save on their energy costs!
Find us online:
- Learn all about Solar Urbana Champaign and sign up for your free site assessment by visiting the website at SolarUrbanaChampaign.com
- Be sure to like the Solar Urbana-Champaign and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) Facebook pages and join the online conversation!
- Learn more about our competitively selected solar installer, GRNE Solar, by visiting their website.
First Benchmark Reached!
Our group buy program uses the power of bulk purchasing to create an economy of scale: the more people who participate, the larger the savings become! This year's program has already passed the first 50 kilowatt benchmark, meaning that participants can look forward to additional savings. Join today and share with friends so we can achieve lower costs for everyone!
Please help spread the word:
Please share the program website or this email with your friends and neighbors or post it on your social media pages.
Remember: the more people that go solar through the Solar Urbana Champaign program, the lower the cost for all!
Pull out your yard sign, it's Grow Solar season!
Not sure where it went? No worries, it's been a while. Let us know where to drop it off and we will get you a new one.
