Organized By: Pennsylvania Chapter

Location: Virtual

Join Solarize Greater Philadelphia and the Sierra Club to find out why now is the best time for municipalities to invest in solar.

On-site solar can help make energy costs more predictable and keep energy budgets stable for your municipality.  We’ll hear from two municipalities that have installed solar and one that is planning to install solar.  

There are currently two federal credits available that reduce the cost of solar significantly.  A 30% Investment Tax Credit and 10% Community Energy credit (in some regions) are available for systems installed and operating by December 31, 2027.  A 10% domestic content credit is also available.  To meet the deadline, projects should start their feasibility and financial analysis by this September.

We’ll also hear about Solarize’s services to help a municipality through the feasibility, financial analysis, and RFP process.  Financing and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) options will be included.

With the key solar incentives facing the December 31, 2027 deadline, now is the time to get started with your solar program! The federal incentives also apply to non-profit organizations, schools, faith and businesses. They will also benefit from the lessons in this webinar.
