Montgomery County, City of Dayton working to help businesses go solar

The co-op helps people navigate how to purchase solar panels and all the benefits of using solar power.

“Energy prices keep going up and they’re unpredictable,” said Lames Mubaslat of Montgomery County. “Having solar at your own facility is the way of the future and of course, it’s a sustainable thing to do.”

“Solar United Neighbors,” says it has installed 38 solar co-ops across the state.
