Broward County hosted a free Go SOLAR Fest January 25-26 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale. The event offers solar and electrical contractors, installers and residents interested in bringing more solar energy to South Florida and a unique opportunity to hear from the experts about recent advances in permitting, financing, solar rights, zoning, net metering and interconnection.
