Join us this Wednesday, August 19th, at 7 pm at the Valley Ranch Library for a Sustainable Energy Panel Presentation - it's free! Click here to RSVP if you want to join us: https://www.ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/CleanEnergyPanel

Four Valley Ranch homeowners will share details about their solar panels, batteries, and EV’s. They will discuss costs, savings, maintenance requirements, impact on home insurance, charging their EV’s, and other lessons learned. This is not a sales event. It’s a chance to ask questions. It's neighbors sharing their solar energy experiences with you.
