PA Interfaith Power & Light, Jewish Earth Alliance Hosts Aug. 21 Webinar On Applying For The New Solar For Schools Grant Program

The PA Interfaith Power and Light and Jewish Earth Alliance will host an August 21 webinar on how to apply for the new Solar For Schools Grant Program from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

The Solar for PA Schools Grant Program is a targeted state investment that would fund solar energy projects at public k-12 schools, community colleges, and career technical schools across Pennsylvania. 

If implemented, the project has the potential to-- 

-- Save schools money and increase the predictability of energy costs

-- Create family-sustaining, local jobs

-- Increase Pennsylvania's renewable energy production

Energy is one of the highest expenses for school districts in Pennsylvania. On-site solar can reduce those energy costs, potentially saving Pennsylvania school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. 

These savings make solar a crucial tool in combating underfunding that affects rural, urban, and suburban schools across the Commonwealth; schools could use money they save on utilities to fund other needs, like repairs, or to save taxpayers money.
