Evaluate the solar option for my home

Attend a solar power hour and do the follow-up work with straight up solar to evaluate whether my home is a good fit for a solar installation. I would like to support a clean energy option for part of my home's energy needs and st. Louis is currently in a group-buy option which I see as a win-win!

    Unfortunately, in my community, environmental degradation disproportionately endangers public health for people of color and low-income individuals. They have higher exposures to lead poisoning and mold, higher rates of asthma, exposure to air pollution and toxics associated with demolition of vacant properties and illegal trash dumping.
