Dear Friend,
Community solar is on the brink of becoming a reality in Ohio, making it the perfect time to become well-informed about its benefits.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept, please watch this 91 second animation <[link removed]> produced by students at Bowling Green State University?that beautifully illustrates the potential of community solar.
Watch the video <[link removed]>:

The animation was created by the talented students of Bowling Green State University's Collaborative Digital Arts Development class. Under the guidance of Ohio Citizen Action member Professor Bonnie Mitchell, these students produced an educational piece that not only showcases their incredible art and animation skills but also emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing environmental issues.
We packed the room for a proponent hearing on HB 197
On?Wednesday, April 24,?the Ohio House Public Utilities Committee met to discuss the community solar bill, HB 197. Bill supporters packed the room to show the committee members that Ohioans are ready to pass the Community Solar Pilor Program. More than 117 witnesses submitted testimony in support of the bill. No opposition witnesses bothered to show up in-person for the opposition hearing on May 8th.

Join us as we illuminate the benefits and opportunities of community solar in Northeast Ohio. The luncheon will cover essential topics, highlight student-led projects, and feature discussions with key community leaders.
It is an excellent opportunity for all attendees, regardless of your prior knowledge of solar energy, to learn how you can engage with and benefit from community solar initiatives.
Sign Up for the Luncheon Here <[link removed]>(please RSVP by May 22)
Your voice matters in the conversation about community solar
<[link removed]>
If you can't make it to the luncheon, you can still play a crucial role in advancing community solar in Ohio. House Bill 197, which proposes a pilot program for community solar, is currently under review. This bill enjoys bipartisan support and could significantly enhance access to solar energy for those who cannot install their own panels.
We encourage you to reach out to your State Representative <[link removed]>?to express your support for HB 197. Feel free to send the letter provided or personalize it to make a stronger impact.
Together, we can make community solar a reality in Ohio.
