Solar power for your home or business

Solar energy is a renewable (“green”) energy that is available and accessible for most people throughout North Carolina, and that can be used for various applications. One important application is the production of electric power for residences or businesses.

The February Guilford Solar program will provide the general public with an overall understanding of electric power production from the sun. Included will be an overview of system components, costs, recent innovations, tax incentives, and power grid inter-connection requirements. Other related issues such as the siting of a solar system and the availability of local manufacturers, vendors, and installers will also be discussed. In addition, the implications of “net-metering” and the “NC GreenPower Agreement” will be examined.

Tom Honey, a local solar power installer with many years of experience and several installed PV systems in the Triad area, will conduct the presentation.

This event, co-sponsored by the Greensboro Public Library, will be held on Saturday, February 9, from 10 – 11:30AM, in the auditorium of the Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch Library, 1420 Price Park Road, Greensboro.
