What is Community Solar? Workshop, Food, Art, COMMUNITY!

What is Community Solar? Workshop, Food, Art, COMMUNITY!

Extreme heat and wildfire smoke are getting worse and power bills are going up every year. Low-income Black, Indigenous, and Latine communities are impacted more than others in Idaho. Rooftop solar power is a great way to address climate change, but it's usually only affordable for wealthy homeowners.

"Community solar" is a type of local solar power that can benefit EVERYONE by:

lowering power bills
building community wealth
reducing pollution
creating good jobs
making neighborhoods more resilient
We'll hear ideas about which community buildings in Boise could have a community solar project (including Club Community and the Cut n Up Salon where this event is taking place!) and start talking about how we can work together to make it happen. We need everyone's support, so come learn more and help create positive change in your community!

Club Community
04:00 PM - 06:00 PM on Sun, 21 Sep 2025
