If you’re interested in installing a few solar panels onto your roof, Hampton Roads Solar Co-op is ready to provide a helping hand.
The regional co-op, which stretches from Virginia Beach to Williamsburg, is part of Solar United Neighbors, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and small businesses harness solar energy. Founded in 2007, the nonprofit operates in ten states and the District of Columbia.
“Our job is to help communities address some of the barriers to go solar,” said Aaron Sutch, program director for Solar United Neighbors of Virginia. The nonprofit has done 650 installations in Virginia.
Sutch brought the good word of solar power and how Williamsburg-area residents can harness the renewable energy in a co-op format at the Williamsburg Neighborhood Council meeting Saturday.
