Power Hour - Free Solar Energy Educational Class
Edited: 7/3/2015, 10:01 AM
East Troy area residents have the opportunity Thursday, July 2 to learn about solar powering their home, business, or farm with a free Power Hour— a one-hour informational session that explores the benefits of solar. The East Troy Power Hour will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, W2493 County Road ES.
The Power Hour is hosted by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), a clean energy and sustainable living educational nonprofit, and will detail the components of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, discuss market trends, review a list of vetted local solar installers, and conclude with an MREA representative ready to answer questions.
“Solar is a complex industry,” said Peter Murphy, Market Development Coordinator at MREA. “It can be a confusing process for consumers to figure out who to work with and what advantages and disadvantages exist when considering a solar array. The Power Hour is a way for us to do a lot of up-front education for residents who may be interested but aren’t sure where to start."
The Power Hour is part of the Power Pack program. The East Troy Power Hour is a partnership between Grow Solar, the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), Badgerland Financial, the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, and the Wisconsin Farmers Union. It is made possible with support from the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative. To learn more about the MREA, call (715) 592-6595 or visit www.midwestrenew.org.
