Modi’in Schedules Rooftop Solar Conference for November 23

Modi’in-Maccabim-Re’ut municipality will hold an information conference on rooftop solar energy on Monday, November 23, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The meeting is scheduled for the auditorium of MOR High School in Re’ut and is intended for private homeowners and apartment owners in shared buildings. No previous knowledge is required. The program involves the Energy and Infrastructure Ministry and the nonprofit Sun for Everyone initiative. It will explain the requirements for installing rooftop panels and how residents can examine whether a system is financially feasible. The planned discussion covers both buying a system and leasing roof space to a company that finances, installs and maintains the equipment. For residents comparing those arrangements, the topics include the initial investment, responsibility for maintenance and the division of revenues. The conference will also address shared-building roofs, including the organization of apartment owners and the consent needed to proceed. Participants will hear about assessment and installation stages, questions to consider before an agreement and available guidance. Sun for Everyone is an initiative led by the Israel Energy Forum in partnership with KKL-JNF and the ministry. Its assistance to residents and building committees includes examining a roof’s potential, organizing owners, comparing options and reviewing installers’ proposals. The November 23 session is intended to introduce residents to those practical steps.
