Louisville Metro Government’s Mayor’s Office of Sustainability has partnered with the Kentucky Solar Energy Society (KYSES) and the Louisville Sustainability Council (LSC) to launch the 2023 Solar Over Louisville solarize program! Solar Over Louisville makes going solar easy by connecting participants with vetted and trustworthy solar installers, providing a step-by-step walk-through of the solar installation process, and helping participants access discounted rates on solar. Going solar will help you reduce your energy bills, potentially increase your property’s value, support local solar jobs, and help Louisville meet its goal of using 100% clean energy community-wide by 2040!
On March 2nd, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg made the announcement that Solar Energy Solutions and Icon Solar Power have been selected from a competitive pool of applicants as the designated vetted solar installation partners for the 2023 Solar Over Louisville campaign! Both companies are regionally based and bring several years of experience and professionalism. By connecting Solar Over Louisville participants with the vetted installers, we are eliminating the hassle for residents to vet an installer themselves and also helping them access a great wholesale discount of 15-23%.
In 2022, Solar Over Louisville installed solar on over 90 homes. Join this growing community today! The program is open to residents, small businesses, nonprofits, places of worship, and other small non-residential properties in Louisville/Jefferson County and surrounding counties. To learn more about the program and sign up, please visit: www.100PercentLou.com/2040.
We also invite you to register for one of our upcoming Solar Over Louisville Workshops by clicking the links below. At these workshops, you can hear directly from the installers, learn more about the process, and ask questions!

This is how it works -- every week participants receive an email with a list of 10-12 anti-racism activities. These range from reading an article, calling an elected official, making a donation, watching a film, viewing an exhibit by a Black artist, patronizing a Black business, etc.
We ask participants to choose and complete 3 of the listed activities. The purpose is to keep us all focused and active in challenging racism in our daily lives. This is a personal Challenge -- no one needs to report back.
