An informational meeting explaining the economic advantages of solar power is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24, at the Pavilion in Holbrook-Palmer Park, 150 Watkins Ave., Atherton.
Representatives from Foster City-based SolarCity will discuss the Go Solar Initiative for Atherton and Menlo Park, a group discount on photovoltaic systems that ends July 31. If enough households sign up to meet the goal of 175 kilowatts <0x2014> the total amount of electricity generating capacity <0x2014> participants get discounts of 25 to 30 percent off the going competitive rate, said a SolarCity spokesman.
