“Solar Electricity for Your Home”  FREE Solar Workshop

with Tim Nelson of Fire Mountain Solar

Wednesday, Feb. 26, 6:30 to 8:30 pm

Room 309, Skagit Valley Food Co-op, 202 South 1st St, Mt Vernon  98273

Solar works in Western Washington! Learn how you can save on solar, reduce your electric bill, improve your home’s salability, address climate change and support your local economy, all with one smart investment. Tim Nelson of Fire Mountain Solar will explain how the current federal and state incentives mean your solar system can pay for itself completely, typically in 5 to 7 years, utilizing incentives for Made-in-WA products. Attendees will receive special discount pricing on solar system installation by Fire Mountain Solar (system size 4 to 10 kW). Workshop is free.

You can take action now to move away from burning fossil fuels with clean green renewable energy. If you are considering buying an electric car, plan now to offset your electric use by adding solar. And, when you buy local, your money stays here, in our shared community. 2014 is the year – now is the time to save on solar!

Fire Mountain Solar is a local family-owned expert solar installation firm. Owners Tim & Alana Nelson live near Big Lake and, after 14 years of living completely off-the-grid using solar and wind for power, they now enjoy the luxury of a solar utility grid-tied system with battery backup.  www.FireMountainSolar.com Questions?
