How are we doing so far?

2017 is an important year for solar! We are working to increase the number of installations we finance each year. This year, we are striving to help 30 homeowners install solar on their roofs. See below what we’ve accomplished so far this year and learn how you can help:

Inspired by her Climate Reality training, Julie Williams created this innovative wealth-sharing program that provides zero interest loans to homeowners for solar installations. Using investments by “Sun Buddy’ donors who get paid back by tax credits and rebates; this is a community-based solution for ramping up clean energy solutions in Corvallis, OR.
