Solar panel savings
The newest clean energy effort in Savannah
On September 26th, applications for home solar panel installation will open. This is the latest effort for the 100% Savannah clean energy program.
The solar panels will be available to lower and moderate-income homes with the expectation that these homeowners will save money on their energy bill. The Office of Sustainability believes that participants will see a 15% reduced cost.
The office will be checking roof size of the home and energy cost history to ensure applicants are eligible for the solar panels. If the roof is shaded or savings are less than $20, the application will be denied.
Some other qualifications are a household limit of $100,000 or less and the roof must be in good condition.
Savannah homeowners can apply at no cost, here: www.savannahga.com/brightsavannah

Declining costs and government encouragement have resulted in a rapid increase in solar energy production in the United States over the past 10 years, although solar’s share remains small: 1.6 percent of all electricity generation in 2018. That rapid growth is projected to continue.
