"Supporting solar is a win-win-win for Cleveland. It saves people money on their electricity bills. It creates good local jobs, and it cleans our air and water. We have more than 150 solar installations in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, and we want to see that number grow rapidly." Matt Gray, Chief of Sustainability, City of Cleveland
