Woodbury, MN – Community Solar Gardens are centrally located solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that produce electricity for participating subscribers. They're great for people that want to go solar but are unable to do so on their own. Who is community solar for? Perhaps you live in an apartment, have a shaded roof at home, or don’t have space at your organization. Now you can subscribe to a community solar garden installed near you and get credits on your utility bill. Wondering what community solar gardens are all about and how they might work for you? Join us at a free workshop hosted by the City of Woodbury and the Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) on Thursday, October 27th at 7:00pm at Woodbury City Hall to learn more then connect with developers. Workshop Agenda: • Welcome from City of Woodbury • Neighborhood Energy Connection discusses ways to save energy at home • Clean Energy Resource Teams presents about solar gardens and other renewable energy options • Network with community solar garden developers offering subscriptions to Woodbury and neighboring towns Date & Location: Thu, Oct 27, 7:00–8:30pm Woodbury City Hall, Council Chambers 8301 Valley Creek Rd, Woodbury, MN
