This edition of Alachua County Talks features an interview with Alachua League of Women Voters Solar Organizer Wes Wheeler. The program focuses on the League’s partnership with the non-profit organization FL SUN to form the Alachua County Solar Co-Op, with the goal of making it easier to save money on the purchase of solar panels, while building a community of local solar supporters.

Those interested must sign up for the Alachua County Solar Co-op by Friday July 28, 2017. For more information, visit the www.flsun.org/alachua or email solarteam@flsun.org.

In speaking of the program, Alachua County Talks host Mark Sexton said, “The Alachua County Solar Co-op offers County residents a great opportunity to save money on solar panels now so they can save on energy for years to come. The co-op simplifies the process of going solar while providing a discount through its bulk purchasing power.”
