Tybee Island’s solar interest spreads to county,

Solarize Tybee aims to allow more home and business owners than
initially anticipated to tap into its collective buying power to
reduce the cost of rooftop solar installations.

A Thursday meeting about the project attracted more

than 60 people
to Tybee City Hall, an enthusiastic response that has the program
poised to grow before it’s even begun.

“We’ve agreed we’re going to expand county-wide with
permission from local governments and the county,” said Tybee
council member Paul Wolff, who helped bring the Solarize program to
the island.
