Have you been hearing the buzz around solar energy, but not been sure where to start? As energy prices rise, are you looking for ways to save money on home heating and electricity? Would you like your business, town, or school district to reduce its energy costs, carbon footprint, and impact on the climate?
Join the Cook Memorial Library and the Chocorua Lake Conservancy for “Solar Energy 101 & Beneficial Electrification” with Ted Vansant, Founder and President of New England Commercial Solar Services. Ted gives an overview of solar energy possibilities, including the currently popular systems that capture solar energy and how the systems work; solar panel mounting possibilities—rooftop (flat and sloped), poles, ground-mounted row, trackers, and solar farms; why to include electrical storage batteries in a solar installation; and the benefits of solar energy in residential, commercial, municipal, and school settings. He will also discuss beneficial electrification and why energy efficiency, beneficial electrification, and solar are great ways to fight climate change and save money at the same time. This free program is part of the CML/CLC series “Climate & Community.”
