Group holds virtual sessions about solar energy

The Grow Solar Sauk County group plans to have free virtual seminars for the public to learn more about solar power. Participants can also access competitive prices for solar installations.

This program is open to individual homeowners, farmers and commercial property owners.

Increments of 50, 150 250 and 350 kilowatts will be available.

Participants may also just sign up to receive more info or to ask questions.

These informational Power Hours, as they are called, will be held at 3 p.m. April 5, 6:30 p.m. April 21 and noon April 30. To sign up or get more details, visit sauk.growsolar.org.

A similar program was held in 2018, when more than 65 home and small business owners installed solar features across Sauk County. The program surpassed its goal of adding 200 kW of solar power; it ended up at more than 430 kW.

The local program is supported by the Sauk County Land Resources and Environment Committee, UW-Madison Extension, One Heart and Powered Up Baraboo.
