"We are proud to achieve the SolSmart Gold designation and are committed to supporting solar energy development throughout the community. In recent years, we've seen more interest in solar energy from many of our residents, businesses, and local governments, and we are excited that it's becoming a more affordable option here in Lake County." Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart

"It used to be unclear on what solar options were available to install. I would like to thank staff for all their work to streamline the solar permit application process. Residents that need help with their permit are always welcome to contact Lake County for help" Terry Wilke, Lake County Energy and Environment Committee Chair
