Solar is more accessible and affordable than ever. Are you ready to make the leap, to get your power from the sun? Should you? Can you? How? Solar expert Doug McKenzie will provide a strong foundation for your decision-making. Presentation followed by Q&A, so bring your questions!

Solar Financing: owning versus leasing, low-income options
