One of the hallmarks of every solarize campaign is the free educational workshops. These workshops not only include information on a particular solarize campaign, but inform the pubic about solar in general, serving to raise awareness on the many benefits of this growing energy sector. Data shows that even after a particular solarize campaign ends, the amount of installed solar in that area continues to grow. Solarize Brooklyn CB6 has already had over 430 attend workshops or request site visits with two more workshops scheduled. Solarize Huntington has had 341 people sign up for site assessments, of which 22 have signed on to go solar through the program, representing 185 kW of contracted solar capacity. The next Solarize Huntington workshop will be September 8th.
