Will County Hosting Two “Solar Power Hour” Events in July

Will County residents are invited to attend free virtual or in-person “Solar Power Hour” events to learn about the benefits of using solar energy and how to participate in a group buy to reduce costs.

The “Solar Power Hour” events are part of Grow Solar Chicagoland, previously known as Solarize Chicagoland, which offers free hour-long sessions to educate homeowners and small businesses on how to save money by using solar energy and participating in a group buy.

Property owners will learn more about the basics of solar energy, its financial benefits, and how the solar group buy program can lower the costs of installing a system at home. Participants have an opportunity to sign up for a free, no-obligation site assessment/cost estimate.

This initiative is co-hosted by the Resource Recovery and Energy Division of the Will County Land Use Department, the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, and the Citizens Utility Board.

An in-person event will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, at the Shorewood-Troy Public Library, 650 Deerwood Drive, Shorewood, and a virtual event will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, July 28. Future events will be available in August.
