Solar Farm Hosts “Bring Your Bill” Event
Thursday, November 1, (5 p.m.) at the Peru Free Library
Libraries in Peru and Mooers are getting ready to host events in early November to explain how area residents can save money with solar energy without buying and installing costly panels on their rooftops.
Solar Farms New York is currently installing solar panels on three adjoining farms in Mooers that will produce enough electricity for about 1,200 homes in the North Country, according to Nicole Graham, Event Coordinator of Solar Farms New York the company in charge of marketing solar subscriptions in the farms to homeowners.
On Thursday, November 1, the Peru Free Library will host Graham at 5 pm. She will answer questions and help residents who bring their electric bills to sign up for solar farms memberships. The next day, at 11:00 a.m., Graham will appear at the Mooers Free Library.
In July Mooers Free Library became a Clean Energy Partner of Solar Farms New York. As a Clean Energy Partner, the Library receives $100 for every customer that signs up for a solar membership and uses a Mooers Free Library promo code.
Graham said that construction of the Mooers farms is expected to be completed by January, at which time customers will start to receive credits from NYSEG on their bills. “One of our solar farms in Mooers has already sold out and the others are going quickly,” Graham said. “Signing up now will reserve your place,” she added.
The Mooers farms are among 32 farms that Solar Farms New York is building in upstate New York, according to Jeffrey Mayer, CEO of Solomon Community Solar which markets solar farm memberships.
