Steve O'Day spoke to the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge solar initiative on Monday, April 25, regarding the use of financing under the Georgia Solar Energy Free-Market Financing Act of 2015 for solar projects on commercial and institutional buildings in the City of Atlanta. ABBC has studied commercial and institutional buildings in Atlanta and has identified dozens that can benefit from solar energy installations.
