Tired of rising electric bills? Join the Marathon City Council and Solar United Neighbors (SUN) for Florida Solar 101 at the Marathon City Hall on Tuesday, March 28 at 4:30 p.m. The solar experts at SUN will walk residents through solar technology, economics, incentives and how the co-op works. Participants can register in advance at SolarUnitedNeighbors.org/Keys/Events; however, registration is not a requirement to attend.

The solar co-op will help area homeowners and small business owners learn about solar together and purchase solar panels at a group rate from a single installer. It’s a great time to go solar by joining the free Florida Keys 2023 Solar Co-op. The Keys co-op is sponsored by the city of Marathon, city of Key West, city of Layton, League of Women Voters of the Lower Keys and IFAS Monroe County. More information is at SolarUnitedNeighbors.org/Keys.
