Wayne County Event 1: April 28th

GLREA worked closely with the Wayne County Sustainability team, the Detroit 2030 District, and the Greenleaf commission, to initiate a new Solarize series for Wayne County! The program kicked off in April with a meeting at the Rosedale Gardens Church in Livonia, featuring Srinergy as the installer. We had 25 participants.

Oakland County Event 2: April 29th

We also held another successful Oakland County Solarize at the Novi public library, with Srinergy as the installer as well. Thanks to the support of the Oakland County Sustainability Office and Board of Commissioners, as well as the Detroit 2030 District, we had over 30 attendees encompassing residents, businesses, nonprofits, places of worship, and local governments. 

The success of Solarize is built upon having a thriving renewable energy community throughout the state - which includes you all! Please help us continue making solar a more accessible energy option by telling friends, family, and community members about upcoming Solarize events.
