The New Hampshire Chapter of the USGBC recently hosted a webinar to learn about solar for municipalities.  Revision Energy’s Rachel Eades presented on the latest policy updates, Inflation Reduction Bill impacts to municipal solar projects, and important considerations for a successful solar installation.  The webinar started with an overview of the electricity cost in NH and potential climate change impacts to our state if we continue with business as usual.  She provided a great background on how solar energy works, the types of systems, equipment, and a sample construction timeline.  Then we looked at financing options and project economics.  One of the components of the Inflation Reduction Bill is the 30% “direct pay” rebates for solar installations for municipalities and non-profits.  Rachel also provided action items for those municipalities looking to install solar in their town.  Finally, she stressed the importance of community engagement, outlining a clear vision for the project and ensuring buy-in from all stakeholders.  The NH Chapter is grateful for Rachel’s time and sharing her knowledge on this important topic.
