If you own a PV system, CCLEP wants to hear from you!
Cook County Local Energy Project (CCLEP) is compiling a list of as many solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed in Cook County as possible. PV owners who use grid, grid with battery back up or non-grid tied systems are encouraged to fill out a survey and send it to CCLEP. The data will used to describe the general picture of how PV systems are being used in Cook County. Personal information is not for public use.
Surveys can be found on the CCLEP website, www.cookcountylocalenergy.org or to receive an electronic copy, email localenergy@boreal.org. There are also printed surveys with an envelope for completed surveys at Grand Portage ENP, Hovland post office, Grand Marais Public Library, Cook County Community Center and Arrowhead Cooperative’s office.
This survey is part of a larger CCLEP endeavor, the Solar Initiative Project, to raise awareness of the benefits of PV systems and to assist Cook County residents in evaluating options that work best for them. A main component is to create a solar toolbox that compiles solar information into one place and promote its use in Cook County.
The toolbox is currently being written and organized and will be made public this summer. The project is supported by a grant from the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation.
