Jan. 22 at 10 a.m. with Orange County Government and Solar United Neighbors of Florida
\n<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"WHAT: <\/strong>Representatives from Orange County Government and Solar United Neighbors of Florida will host a press conference encouraging Orange County homeowners looking for a discounted way to add solar power to their homes to sign up for one of two new solar co-op programs.<\/p>\n

Orange County Mayor Jacobs participated in the previous Orange County solar co-op and will make a special announcement about Orange County\u2019s latest solar co-op program opportunity.<\/p>\n

Solar power supports Jacobs\u2019 goals in her Sustainability Initiative, \u201cOur Home for Life<\/em><\/a>,\u201d which seeks to reduce barriers to alternative energy and increase renewable energy production by 10 percent in 2020 and 25 percent by 2040.<\/p>\n

Solar co-ops provide bulk discounts of up to 20 percent for a group of homeowners interested in purchasing solar panels. As part of a solar co-op, each participant signs an individual contract with the group-chosen installer, and all participants benefit from the discount. All homeowners who reside in Orange County, including in city jurisdictions, are eligible to participate in their respective co-op.<\/p>\n

WHEN: Monday, January 22, 2018\u00a0at\u00a0<\/strong>10 a.m. <\/strong><\/p>\n

WHERE: <\/strong>UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Orange County Extension
\n6021 S Conway Rd
