The Philadelphia Solar Energy Association will host a May 4 webinar on Solar Schools: New Incentives Make Now The Best Time To Go Solar from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.

The federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides unprecedented incentives to go solar. Learn how schools can access this funding to save money by permanently reducing your electric bill!

Join Philadelphia Solar Energy Association and PHENND Sustainability for a preview of the Solar Schools Toolkit.

The first in a series of three workshops,  this timely webinar will provide an overview of the process for going solar,  introduce a broad range of tools and technical assistance resources, and lay out a clear path to success. 

Solar industry and finance experts will demystify the new IRA incentives, review ownership and financing options and answer your questions directly.

By going solar, schools can save money every year,  enhance student STEM education and career preparedness, and increase climate resilience.

The Department of Environmental Protection is sponsoring this Toolkit to make it easier than ever for schools to harness the many benefits of solar.

Speakers include--

-- Dave Althoff, Department of Environmental Protection

-- Liz Robinson, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Solar Energy Association

-- Roger Clark -  Director of Sustainable Development Fund (retired)

-- Ron Celentano - President of PA Storage and Solar Association
