As a partner in the Solarize Allegheny campaign, 350 Pittsburgh invites you to learn how solar can work for your home or business. Replacing dirty fossil fuels with healthy energy is a crucial strategy to address climate change and improve our local air quality. Drop in any time between 10:30 and 2 to look at the solar installations -- at ground level and on the roof -- and ask questions.

 

While the Pittsburgh region has many cloudy days, we receive much more sun than Germany - the leading solar energy nation! Solar energy - the fastest growing energy source in the world - works well in Pennsylvania and there are already nearly 8,000 solar installations in Pennsylvania. With the steep drop in solar costs and the 30% federal tax credit, solar has become a wise financial investment.

 

350 Pittsburgh, a project of the Thomas Merton Center, has teamed up with Solarize Allegheny, a project funded by the Heinz Endowments and the Allegheny County Health Department, to help residents and commercial property owners consider the benefits of solar energy. Find out about the Urban Redevelopment Authority energy loan (PHRP Plus) with 0% interest for people with qualifying incomes. The installers are offering a $500 discount for all signed contracts by June 16, 2017!
