CLEVELAND, Ohio – Despite Cleveland’s cloud coverage more than half of the year, residents can still harness the power of the sun to light their home or business.

The Solar United Neighbors (SUN) is hosting two informational sessions where those interested in solar energy can learn about joining the Cuyahoga County Solar and Electric Vehicle Charger Co-op, which leverages bulk purchasing to keep installation costs down.

Virtual presentations will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Visit solarunitedneighbors.org to register for free.

SUN estimates roughly 365 homes and businesses already using solar panels represent 2.6 thousand kilowatts of solar power, $6.6 million in local solar spending and more than 92.7 million pounds of lifetime carbon offsets. It also notes the panels can nearly pay for themselves in cost savings after 10 years.

“With the growing need for a clean energy system that benefits local communities instead of monopoly utilities, we’re thrilled to see so much interest from homeowners to go solar,” Tristan Rader, Ohio program director for SUN, said in a news release.
