IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa City is hosting a free solar energy information session later in late May.
The Solar Power Hour will run from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. May 26 at the Big Grove Iowa City Taproom. The city is partnering with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association and the East Central Iowa Council of Governments to put on the event.
Residents, business owners and community organizations can learn about rooftop and ground-mounted solar arrays. The session will cover how solar systems connect to the grid, how they get credited on utility bills and how the Grow Solar East Central Iowa group buy program can help lower installation costs.
People interested in signing up for a solar site assessment for their home, business or organization will have a chance to do so. There is no obligation to participate in the Grow Solar program.
Attendees will also have a chance to win a free solar phone charger as a door prize.
The Nature Conservancy, 1000 Friends of Iowa and the City of Cedar Rapids are also partners in the Grow Solar East Central Iowa group buy program. The program builds on the previous Grow Solar Linn and Johnson County program, last held in 2021.
“We’re excited to bring the program back to Eastern Iowa and help residents learn how they can unlock savings with solar and hedge against rising energy prices,” Emily Kavanagh said. Kavanagh is Climate & External Affairs Associate at The Nature Conservancy.
More information on the program and additional Solar Power Hour presentations in the area can be found at GrowSolar.org/eci or by contacting Sarah Gardner, Climate Action Coordinator for the City of Iowa City, at sgardner@iowa-city.org.
