Solarize St. Thomas Open House

Solarize St. Thomas is hosting an Open House over three days in Red Hook to bring the message of solar power’s value and benefits to residents and business owners. The campaign, which launched locally in January, has attracted nearly 100 homeowners to sign up for a free solar power evaluation for their properties. Already, seven contracts for solar installations have been completed, resulting in 78,567 lbs. annually of avoided CO2 in the Virgin Islands. Coalition organizations involved in ensuring Solarize St. Thomas reaches more residents locally include: Rotary Club of St. Thomas East ECO UVI’s Caribbean Green Technology Center; Environmental Association of St. Thomas-St. John; Virgin Islands Conservation Society; VI Electric Vehicle Association – North; Solar Crowdsource; and Virgin Islands Energy Office (VIEO). The Open House will take place over three days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 20-22. Anyone who brings electricity bill information can get a preliminary evaluation immediately.
