 MAINE COMMUNITY SOLAR

The Lewiston Public Library will host Maine Community Solar for an information session on Tuesday, July 12 at 5:30pm in Callahan Hall and streaming virtually on Zoom and Facebook. This free, public program will cover what community solar is, how it works, and what the benefits are to Maine residents.

With solar farms going up across the state and flyers arriving weekly in the mail, it can be difficult to parse what all this information means and how the average citizen can take advantage to have a lower monthly electric bill. After the presentation, there will be an option to ask additional questions. If you think you might be interested in participating in community solar, bring a copy of your most recent electric bill and get one-on-one assistance with signing up for a program that is the best fit for you.

Maine Community Solar is a local organization educating Maine businesses and consumers about the benefits of community solar and helping them enroll in the program that’s right for them. They are on a mission to make Maine a leader in sustainability and renewable energy. For more information, please visit www.mainecommunitysolar.org

Admission is free to all Library events. Registration required for Zoom participation only. Event will also be livestreamed to Facebook. http://www.myspace.com/guthriesplaceThe Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street. More information is available by contacting the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3135 or LPLReference@lewistonmaine.gov.
