Solar I01 is happening Thursday, May 9 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. at the Boyle County Extension Office. Scott Maas, the KY USDA REAP administrator will be present to provide information on grant opportunities for solar systems for agricultural and small business properties. 

REAP grants cover up to 50% of the costs of solar installations, in addition to federal tax credits allowing a further 30% reduction in what you would otherwise pay in federal income tax. There will also be short presentations from rooftop solar installer Solar Holler, who is partnering with Danville and Boyle County on Solarize Boyle, a bulk-purchasing campaign that provides further discounts (up to 15%) from installers pre-screened and vetted by industry experts. Solarize Boyle is open to residents of Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, Casey, Marion, Washington, and Mercer counties.  Cattleman’s Association will offer a hamburger supper from 6 – 7 p.m.
