Learn more about the Franklin Solar Co-op on Tuesday in Apalachicola

 If you have an interest in adopting solar power for your home or business, there is a program starting in franklin County that could help you get the technical support you need as well as help you save a lot of money.

The Franklin Solar Co-Op project provides homeowners with information and technical support, and puts out formal bids to licensed solar contractors.

Bidding as a group, the Co-Op receives discounts of up to 20 percent on panels and installation costs.

Systems also qualify for a 30% Federal tax credit.

The Franklin Solar Co-Op project is now taking names to gauge the level of interest in our area.

If they can find 30 or 40 people who are interested, the Co-Op could begin work this fall.

There is no obligation, so if you would like to learn more, contact local volunteer organizer Kevin Begos at kevinb109@gmail.com

Kevin will also give a free presentation about the program next Tuesday, November the 21st in Apalachicola.

The presentation will be held at 6PM at the Apalachicola Community Center at Battery Park.
