The PA Interfaith Power and Light and Jewish Earth Alliance will host an August 21 webinar on how to apply for the new Solar For Schools Grant Program from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

The Solar for PA Schools Grant Program is a targeted state investment that would fund solar energy projects at public k-12 schools, community colleges, and career technical schools across Pennsylvania.

If implemented, the project has the potential to--

-- Save schools money and increase the predictability of energy costs

-- Create family-sustaining, local jobs

-- Increase Pennsylvania's renewable energy production

Energy is one of the highest expenses for school districts in Pennsylvania. On-site solar can reduce those energy costs, potentially saving Pennsylvania school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

These savings make solar a crucial tool in combating underfunding that affects rural, urban, and suburban schools across the Commonwealth; schools could use money they save on utilities to fund other needs, like repairs, or to save taxpayers money.
