GOING GREEN: More than
450 additional New Orleans homeowners and businesses took the opportunity to lower their energy costs through rooftop solar and energy efficiency.
SOLAR SAVINGS: Customers enjoyed more than $2.4 million in annual savings, an
average savings of $532 per customer, due to rooftop solar and energy efficiency.
JOB CREATION: Louisiana now has more than 3,300 solar jobs, with nearly
1300 solar jobs in the Metro New Orleans area alone! Since 2015, the solar industry nationwide has grown over 200%.
The Solar for All NOLA 2021 initiative is being led by Forward Together New Orleans, a local nonprofit dedicated to making New Orleans a fairer, more inclusive place by forging partnerships between community organizations and the business and philanthropic sectors. Forward Together New Orleans is working with two respected local solar businesses, PosiGen Solar and Solar Alternatives, to provide free solar evaluations to all homeowners and small business owners interested in seeing if clean energy can save them money on their utility bills. Given the fact that energy costs have started to go up significantly, it’s more important than ever that homeowners and small businesses at least get a free evaluation to see if they can save money with local power.
