Lighting the Way with Community Solar

Join Olympia Community Solar and the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild for an educational session, discussion and networking about community solar projects! New non-profit venture, Olympia Community Solar, will share their unique collaborative ownership model that provides access to solar energy and its benefits to people across income brackets.

The solar industry is thriving– promising job creation, affordable energy, and a healthier environment. Throughout Washington and the nation, community solar is growing at a rate that exceeds even traditional solar growth rates. Solar is the second fastest growing job market in the country, surpassed only by the wind industry.

Community solar is a real and tangible way for communities to come together and take action that moves the needle on clean energy and sustainability. Through collaborative ownership, individuals, businesses, and institutions can provide access to solar energy for people who might otherwise face barriers.
