Going solar can save businesses, nonprofits, schools and municipalities money, while providing energy price stability and reducing carbon emissions. Yet there has been only limited adoption of solar by non-residential entities in our region. With funding from the William Penn and Green Family Foundations, the Philadelphia Energy Authority and the PA Solar Center have teamed up to support organizations navigate the financial, technical and logistical challenges that can stand in the way of installing affordable renewable energy through the PA Solar Center’s G.E.T. Solar program.
The session will explain how Solarize Greater Philadelphia and GET Solar will expand access to commercial solar throughout Southeast PA by leveraging available federal and state funding, while supporting participants to navigate the various tax incentives and infrastructure decisions that accompany any solar project. This initiative will support any non-residential property owner, with a focus primarily on assisting municipal, educational, and community-serving organizations within low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs). PECO will round out the panel to discuss the incentives offered to commercial accounts for installing solar and share several case studies. Join this session to learn how: your organization or clients can utilize these services; the favorable economics of solar for non-residential properties; and ways to get involved in the program.
