Dear Friends,

On behalf of the 1.3 million residents of Nassau County, I offer a warm welcome to our Go Solar Nassau website. I hope that by visiting this site, you will find the information you need to join the many shining examples of solar homes in our great County.

Solar energy helps achieve three critical national objectives - creating new jobs, decreasing our dependence on foreign
oil, and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Here in Nassau County we are focused on these objectives by greening both our government operations as well as the County as a whole which you can learn about here.

The Go Solar Nassau website would not be possible without the diligent efforts of the Network for New Energy Choices and Renewable Energy Long Island. We thank them for their dedication and it is my hope that the information you find on this website will inspire you to help us make Long Island a model for environmentally responsible energy practices.

Sincerely,

Edward P. Mangano

Nassau County Executive
