This regularly-scheduled sponsored column is written by the Arlington Initiative to Rethink Energy team (AIRE). This county program helps you make smart energy decisions that save you money and leaves a lighter footprint on the environment. This post focuses on the Arlington Solar + EV Charging Co-op, currently open for Arlington and other Northern Virginia residents interested in purchasing solar or an electric vehicle charger at a discount. Have a question? Email us at [email protected]!
The solar cooperative movement has grown far and wide, creating sustainable enterprises that generate jobs and strengthen local economies. In Virginia, there are more solar jobs than coal jobs. Arlington is #1 for solar jobs among all counties in Virginia.
To date, more than 120 Arlington families have installed solar with the Arlington Solar Co-op.
Have you thought of going solar or purchasing an electric vehicle (EV)? Maybe you already bought an EV but don’t have a great place to charge it.
For a limited time, you can purchase a solar system or an electric vehicle charger for your home at a discount through the Arlington Solar + EV Charging Co-op.
The Co-op is holding two events this week for folks interested in joining or learning more:
- Informal Solar Celebration and Kickoff
Tuesday, May 1 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill, 2424 Wilson Blvd.
RSVP here to chat about solar, EV’s or simply to celebrate the solar movement! - Solar + EV Charging Co-op Information Session
Wednesday, May 2 at 6:30 p.m.
Navy League Building, 2300 Wilson Blvd.
RSVP here to learn how solar systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and the co-op concept works, and get your questions answered.
You don’t need to attend an event to participate in the group. Simply visit the website and click “Join Our Co-op”.
We hope to see you there!
