The Pennsylvania Solar Center

@SolarWakeup @yannbrandt hi, we would like to send you a press release but the email on your website isn't working. Can you tell us where to send it? Thanks!

I’ll say it. Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard is pathetic and our legislators should be embarrassed by it. stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2… @pasolarcenter #solarenergy

Taking a break from Twitter for a while... 🙃 Find us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram @pasolarcenter!

Today's the day--Giving Tuesday! Please consider supporting our work at the PA Solar Center. For every donation over $100, we will share $20 with @MPOWERDInc to provide solar lanterns in their disaster relief efforts around the world. Donate here! lnkd.in/envQb5VK

With your support, we can do so much better! Please consider donating to our small but mighty team this Giving Tuesday. And if you give $100 or more, we'll donate an @MPOWERDInc solar lantern to help people around the world. lnkd.in/envQb5VK

This #GivingTuesday, we ask you to support the future of solar in PA by donating to us through the GIVE BIG PITTSBURGH portal. PA is 50th in the nation for the percentage of growth of renewables. That's B-A-A-A-D! lnkd.in/envQb5VK

According to the @nytimes, solar developers, environmentalists, farming groups and tribal organizations recently reached an agreement that could make it easier in the US to build large #solar farms, which have attracted stiff opposition in some places. nytimes.com/2023/10/12/bus…

Last call to register for tomorrow's #WattsAndLearn! Even though we don't have community solar in the state, we do have Community Choice Aggregation that will increase access to clean energy to large groups of people. Find out how it works tomorrow. secure.everyaction.com/2Vh7Gds9dUumJA…

Here’s a throwback for this week’s #LodestarLimelight! Millheim Borough in Centre County was one of the first entities we recognized, back in 2021. Learn how much money the solar array (installed by @BAIGROUP) saves the small but mighty municipality and how they use it.

“The 1,100-acre solar farm is full of pesky rocks some farmers call ‘Goonies' & was used for agriculture despite being in a flood zone.Our solar farm, using floodproof #solar engineering designs, boosts the tax base of what are now lower-value farmlands.” shorturl.at/ARV04

The RISE Project — a collaborative effort by RiverWise, @pasolarcenter, and @newsunrisingpgh — is hosting two events next week. On Nov 15, help map the solar potential of properties in Beaver County. On Nov. 16, get answers questions about how solar can save your money.

Next Thursday, we’re offering a FREE webinar to any business or other type of organization considering going #solar! We will answer FAQs and go over a long list of financing options that would help you pay for it. Learn more and register here! secure.everyaction.com/oC9aPwmZEUqgVH…

Check out this video from Lodestar winner @EpicMetals! Epic Metals began its operations in a trolley barn in 1968, going on to recycle this trolley barn into its first manufacturing plant and soon expanded its sustainability efforts into #solar. youtube.com/watch?v=4aiw-I…

Nothing to see here – just another nationwide report on renewable energy production showing that Pennsylvania lags behind almost every other state. Keep reading the unsurprising news here, and check out our website to take action. (link in next tweet) penncapital-star.com/blog/report-sh…

Are you fascinated by solar and want to help more communities reap solar's benefits? Join the 60+ volunteers in our #SolarCorps! So far we have mapped nearly 1,000 properties in PA using PV Watts software. Nov 8 is our next session! Register here. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

It’s time for our second #LodestarLimelight! Located in Honeybrook, @lyons_hohl offers exceptional site construction throughout southeastern PA–and they also went #solar! Their system has saved them $20K in electric costs so far, watch the video here. youtube.com/watch?v=NeJazh…

A #solar-powered car said to be the first in the world capable of driving off-road over long distances without recharging has completed a 620-mile test drive across Morocco & the Sahara. Keep reading over at the @guardian. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Old red barns are not an unusual sight in rural areas, but this barn has roof #solar arrays next to a wind turbine that will soon produce more energy than it uses. Lean more about the @audubonsociety of Western Pennsylvania's interesting project here. post-gazette.com/life/recreatio…

Let’s start with one of our most recent winners, @PITairport. Did you know they are completely off the grid, thanks to the help of #solar? Learn more in their video here!

Today we start “Lodestar Limelight,” a new weekly video series showcasing our past Lodestar awardees. If you didn't know, our Lodestar award honors businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, farmers, faith organizations, and more who have led the way in investing in #solar energy.
