Launching Solarize Union County...
Attention homeowners! Have you been waiting for the right time to ‘go solar?’ Interested in saving money while saving energy? What about supporting your local community while installing a solar thermal system for a fraction of the price? Here at Oregon Rural Action our members have been rolling out Solarize Union County! Solarize is a community-wide bulk purchase campaign that provides a simple and affordable solution for homeowners to install solar panels on their homes.
Solarize Union County has officially secured the partnership of Union Wallowa Baker Federal Credit Union, who will be matching the funds given by the county and administering all the loans for our program.Interested? Please contact RARE Volunteer Energy Organizer, Bridget Callahan, at bridget@oregonrural.org
or by phone 541.975.2411
