Several Cobb organizations have created a new initiative called Solarize Cobb that will be having an official launch event Aug. 31. 
The aim of Solarize Cobb, according to a release, is the “bring low cost solar energy to Cobb County.” That includes solar advice, group discounts on rooftop solar programs and related goods and services for Cobb homeowners and businesses.
The free launch party is open to the public and takes place on Aug. 31 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Glover Park Brewery on the Marietta Square. You can RSVP by clicking here.
The event will include presentations about solar technology, insights from industry experts, discounts for goods and services, tax credit information and more.
The release said that Solarize Cobb is “a community-based purchasing program for solar energy, battery storage and other technologies to mitigate rising utility costs and support energy independence. This initiative is aimed at helping homeowners, businesses, and nonprofits become more resilient, reduce their energy expenses, and save on the cost of renewable energy systems by obtaining volume discounts on materials and installation services.”
Solarize Cobb was formed by My Green Earth, Georgia Interfaith Power & Light, Environment Georgia, Sierra Club Georgia Chapter – Centennial Group in NW Georgia, and Solar Crowdsource.
Homeowners can visit the Solarize Cobb website for more information on how to register to for the program, and to view program FAQs.

My HoA covenants specifically do not allow add-on solar panels. They are deemed to be “junky”. Cobb needs a law to prevent HoAs from blocking the use of solar panels on roofs.
Help us out, please.
