The Alger County Solarize project is a collaborative effort between Alger County Renewable Energy Solutions (ACRES), Michigan Environmental Council, Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association, Michigan Saves, Superior Watershed Partnership and Peninsula Solar.  The goal of the project is to help reduce electric bills for county residents, by promoting a group buy of solar panels with installation that offers discounts of 5%, 10%, or 15%, to the purchasers depending on the number of participants. 

Any interested Alger County homeowner, business owner, not-for-profit, or church is invited to attend a free, community-centric program offering informational resources and explanation about the group-buy discount.  The program will be held on Thursday, September 18 from 6:00-8:00PM at the Munising Township Hall in Wetmore, E9630 Prospect Street, Wetmore, MI  49895.
