This week the Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities sent the letter, below, to members of the Michigan Senate Energy and Technology Committee. We hope you will read it over and send your own note to your own state senator.
Forum Features ‘Shines’ Solar Program
Benzie County homeowners who are seriously considering adding solar panels to their homes are invited to a League of Women Voters forum highlighting a new, locally based campaign called Groundwork Shines that makes going solar easy and financially attractive.
Groundwork Shines: Solar Power Heads North
To most people, “going solar” looks daunting. That’s because, unless you’re an expert, it is. And that’s why today-Earth Day 2016, exactly 21 years after Groundwork was founded as the Michigan Land Use Institute-we are launching Groundwork Shines to help homeowners choose a right-sized, quality solar system for their house; get it expertly installed at a fair price; start protecting the air, water, and climate; and see modest but steady returns from their smart investments.
Marty Lagina: Earth, Wind, and Wine
Marty Lagina’s massive, seven-story winery-three-quarters of it buried underground-is both a wine lover’s and a clean energy wonk’s dream come true.
Groundwork’s solar campaign aims to make local communities shine
Solar panels are still a rare sight in Michigan, but some folks and organizations in our region are working to change that. Local solar contractors and advocates are meeting with us here at Groundwork to figure out how to pick up the pace of putting panels on homes around Traverse City and Frankfort.
Solar outlook is brighter than ever
With the solar industry taking off across the country and Congress extending a big, game-changing solar “discount” now is the perfect time to go solar. Putting a solar system on your home or business is more affordable than ever.
