Solar Energy for Your Home, Business, and Farm
On June 12, 2024 Powered Up Baraboo hosted a virtual presentation, Solar Energy for Your Home, Business, and Farm. Panel participants who have had solar arrays installed on their homes, business, and farm were on hand to discuss what led them to seek out solar installations, how they chose their installer, how they financed the project, and how their solar installation has affected their power bills. Virtual attendees also heard from the installers who made these solar wishes a reality, including how the process begins for the customer, what services the installer can provide, challenges a project might encounter, and potential financing assistance for which customers might qualify.
