Solar Urbana-Champaign 2021 has ended!

Solar Urbana-Champaign 2021 has come to an end. Thank you to our program partners: the City of Urbana, Prairie Rivers Network, and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.

Through Solar Urbana-Champaign, home and business owners throughout Champaign County, Piatt County, and Vermilion County learned about solar and pooled their buying power to secure significant discounts that made installing solar more affordable. This program built on previous years of successful programs that helped over 200 local property owners go solar.

SPREAD THE WORD

One Program, Big Impact

2021 marks the sixth year for the Solar Urbana-Champaign program. Since 2016, the environmental impact has been huge. Each year, the PV systems installed through this program will singlehandedly avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 4,190,413 lbs. of CO2. So, thank you to you for making this program successful year after year and for helping to keep our part of the state beautiful, clean, and healthy.

Since 2016:

1,292 people attended Solar Power Hours

242 properties added solar

2,094 kilowatts of solar have been installed

Every year, that’s like avoiding:

4,716,474 miles driven by the average passenger vehicle

2,094,354 lbs. of coal burned

OR like 80,876 trash bags recycled rather than landfilled
