Corvallis Basics of Solar Workshop FIND OUT WHY SOLAR IS A SMART CHOICE FOR OREGON Join us to learn more about solar energy! Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how: How solar works in Oregon's climate Available solar technologies and how they fit into your overall energy use How to assess your site for solar Financial incentives and tax credits that can cover up to 80% of the cost In addition, Seeds for the Sol founder Julie Williams, a teacher at Corvallis High School, will introduce Seeds for the Sol's unique neighbor-to-neighbor funding model, which is helping homeowners put solar on their roofs by providing them with zero-interest loans. Julie will present some of the homes in Benton County that have installed solar with help from Seeds for the Sol, and explain four ways neighbors can get involved, including: Becoming a Sun Harvester by installing solar panels on your home using a zero-interest loan, which you'll pay back using incentives & tax credits. Becoming a Sun Buddy by sharing your savings and providing a zero-interest loan (repaid in 5 years or less) to help other homeowners in the community put solar on their roofs.  Becoming a pass-through partner by saving on your personal or business taxes and helping Seeds for the Sol install more local solar. Becoming a Sun Supporter by making a donation and supporting Seeds for the Sol's mission to educate, build connections, and reduce our carbon footprint. Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own, start working with a solar contractor, or apply to put solar on their roof with a zero-interest solar loan from Seeds for the Sol.
