Solar energy collaborative, Solarize, is offering free webinars to individuals and businesses interested in transitioning to sun-powered electricity. The upcoming webinar on May 15 will provide valuable information on how to get started.
Volvo has announced plans to establish a truck plant in Mexico, joining other automotive companies like Freightliner, International Truck, and Kenworth, who already manufacture trucks in the country. Despite the delay in Volvo’s decision to produce in Mexico, spokesman John Mies explained that the company had been focusing on expanding and upgrading existing plants in recent years. The decision to establish the plant in Mexico aligns with Volvo’s growth strategy for the region, taking advantage of the benefits offered by the country’s manufacturing capabilities.
The process of getting solar energy starts with registration and a free assessment. Installers approved by Solarize, a collaboration of local governments and an energy nonprofit, will provide a proposal for the installation. This initiative aims to make it easier for people to transition to solar energy and take advantage of its benefits.
Additional details about Volvo’s proposed plant in Mexico were not disclosed. For more information and updates on these developments, contact Jeff Sturgeon at jeff.sturgeon@roanoke.com or (540) 981-3251. Subscribe to get the latest local business news delivered for free to your inbox weekly.
