Two highly qualified solar experts will answer basic questions to help you consider your solar options like whether buying or leasing a system is best for you, how to select an installer, and what the risks and rewards of a solar array are. In addition, if onsite solar isn’t an option for a home or business owner, hear about a local community solar project that enables residents to generate solar energy in a community “solar garden” and on future plans for Saratoga Springs to provide solar options to city residents.
This informational workshop on Monday, June 27th, 2016 from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry Street, Saratoga Springs is co-sponsored by Sustainable Saratoga and the City of Saratoga Spring’s Climate Smart Committee.
The Mayor will be offering welcoming remarks. Guest speakers include Olya Prevo-White and Dennis Phayre. Both are exceptionally experienced in solar energy installation and project development. Olya is a NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional and a solar project manager with CT Male. In 2009, Olya assisted Saratoga Springs residents Carol and Otis Maxwell install the first solar installation on a Victorian home in the heart of the historic district. Dennis is a solar energy specialist and project manager for EnterSolar and is currently working on the construction of the first Shared Renewables community solar project in New York State. In addition, Commissioner Michele Madigan will discuss Community Solar in Saratoga Springs.
