Drawing for a Free Solar System for a Business that becomes a new Founding One Hundred Sponsor!



Have you been considering supporting Annapolis Green by becoming a
Founding One Hundred sponsor? Here is an unbelievable incentive that will not only support us, but will save you money and bring you clean solar power for your business!  
 
RER Energy Group is offering to build a FREE solar PV system for one new Founding One Hundred sponsor! 

"The system will be offered to one business that becomes an Annapolis Green Founding Member between now and the April Green Drinks," said Dennis Satnick, Senior Consultant for RER. "A minimum 40kW system is being offered to create better understanding of the annual electric bill savings and illustrate how solar PV systems can be built with no capital outlay."

The new sponsors' names will be put into a basket and a drawing will be held at Green Drinksin April.
Contact Dennis Stanick to learn more.
