Occupy rooftops on Community Solar Day

Let’s raise awareness of the positive impact of solar power.  Band together with your neighbors and friends on November 20, 2011 for the first Community Solar Day: Occupy Rooftops, organized by Solar Mosaic, 350.org, Vote Solar, and others.

The day is dedicating to gathering people around the world in support of solar energy.  Participants will “occupy rooftops” by gathering at a building that would benefit from rooftop solar panels, both to save energy and create local green jobs.

Community Solar Day will work as follows:

1.  Locate a building in your hometown that would benefit from rooftop solar panels.

2.  Gather a group of friends, neighbors and others in your community to come out and support solar power

3.  Visit the building on which solar panels would be ideal and take a photograph in front of  your dream community solar project.

4.  Post your photograph on meetup.com/Community-Solar.

Community Solar Day is intended to be more than just an opportunity to post photographs.  We need to convince property owners and government leaders that solar power and other renewable energy projects benefit our community by saving money, increasing energy security and breaking free from our reliance on finite fossil fuels.
