The Sunshine Coast Community Solar Association will hold a public meeting at the shíshálh Band Hall from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 7.
Presentations will include why solar energy is important in helping combat climate change, results of the association’s recent survey and how people can determine the suitability of their own roof. Presenters who have “gone solar” and are happy they did will be there to tell about their own situations.
All are welcome and there will be plenty of time for questions. People are asked to bring their own coffee mugs.
Following a packed information meeting in March 2015, the Community Solar Association was established as a non-profit society to promote the use of renewable solar energy in the community and work with individuals, organizations and government to transition to this clean, sustainable energy source.
Since then, the association has worked with students, organized workshops, carried out two popular solar panel bulk buys and investigated community solar options.
