CLEVELAND — Installing solar panels can cost anything from $15,000 to $27,000, but experts say they could save you more than $1,500 on your energy bill each year. So, one Cleveland company is using an EPA grant to bring those savings and make solar energy accessible to low-income neighborhoods.

To help lift that burden, Growth Ops, a Cleveland company, plans to install solar panels in homes just like hers for free. “The Department of Energy calculates energy burden as 5% of household income going to the cost of utilities. We have homes in our lower-income communities that are paying 30% of their income going toward energy costs,” said Jeans.
