We are thrilled to announce our participation in the Montana Solar Community Project http://montanarenewables.org/mtsolarcommunity/ . The Montana Solar Community Project is a partnership between the Montana Energy Office at the Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative to expand community-scale solar developments throughout Montana.

​Community solar projects take many forms, such as community-shared solar, solar installations on community buildings like libraries, and group purchasing programs.

The Montana Energy Office will be launching a tour around Montana to discuss solar development in the state, and they’re heading your way! The meetings, facilitated by MREA, are a chance for Montanans to learn from state energy experts about innovative solar projects around Montana and the nation and to discuss options for building community-scale solar projects in their town or region.

​The meetings are also intended to be a venue for Montanans to share their vision for solar growth in Montana and to initiate discussions to explore potential solar energy solutions in Montana.

These meetings are a great opportunity to get involved in discussions in your home community about the future of solar in Montana.

The tour starts in just a few weeks! We will be visiting the following communities:

Malta – September 19th, 5:30 pm | Malta Business Center, 46 S. 1st St. E

Great Falls – September 20th, 6:30 pm | Montana Farmers Union Office, 525 Central Ave.
