Thinking about how to make your house, business, or Summer cabin more energy-efficient and sustainable?
Alternative sources of energy are becoming increasingly important as the world deals with peak oil. Environmentally responsible people try to find sustainable ways to generate electricity without adding greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy, like solar energy, replaces itself.
Register at one of SPEC‘s (Society Promoting Environmental Conservation) workshops and learn about three different solar energy systems: solar hot water, solar space heater, and PV (Photovoltaic) panels that convert sunlight to electricity. See what the solar panels look like and get your questions answered.
