Central Valley Habitat for Humanity Shares Their Solar Energy Model Across the State
On Friday, June 18 at 11 a.m., Central Valley Habitat for Humanity and Give Solar will present a one-hour workshop to staff members of Habitat for Humanity affiliates around Virginia. The workshop will address the benefits of solar energy for Habitat homeowners as well as the Solar Seed Fund model used by the local Habitat affiliate to make solar systems possible on their new builds.
After the workshop, local volunteers will participate in a solar barn-raising to install 24 solar panels on the roof of the Habitat duplex at 660 Virginia Ave. in Harrisonburg. Give Solar partners with Green Hill Solar, a Harrisonburg-based solar installation company, to install the systems on Habitat homes. Members of the media are invited to attend the solar barn-raising beginning at 12:30 p.m.
