November 15, 2006 Meeting: Does Solar Really Work Here?
February 23, 2009
Can I power or heat my home with solar? Create hot water for the house, Spa or Pool with solar?
Is my house a good candidate for Solar?
What does solar equipment cost? What do I need?
We'll have hands-on samples of system components for Solar electric (Photovoltaics), Solar Hot Water and Solar pool heating systems and help you learn what solar can do for you.
Can I actually earn financial incentives and get tax credits for installing solar?
YES, learn about the 30% Federal Tax CREDIT, sales tax exemptions, and other incentives and rebates that you can get. Washington state has incentives and so does the Federal Government! Adding a solar asset to a home raises the value of the home, too (according to the American Appraisal Institute.).
I've got limited resources. Where should I start?
Learn how spending $1 can save you $5 on solar. Make a solar energy system cover a greater percentage of your household energy load without increasing the size of the system!
If solar is so great, why isn't everyone using it?
Great question! How did the US fall from worldwide solar energy dominance to a distant 3rd place? This presentation will give answers, ideas, and practical solutions that you can put to work right now.
Find out the answers to these and other questions at the November 15th meeting of the Shoreline Solar Project. This presentation is designed for people who'd like to explore the idea of using solar energy for their home, but aren't really sure just what to expect.
When: Wednesday, November 15th, 6:30pm
Where: Meridian Park School (in the library)
17077 Meridian Ave N, Shoreline 98133
Cost: Free, with a $5 donation suggested
