SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Solar: The RTS and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Green Needham is sponsoring an informational session on the solar project at the Needham RTS\, as well as projects at homes and institutions around Town. \nCome hear how the project at the RTS (“the dump”) will soon start providing thirty percent of the electric power needed by Town facilities. The project will save money for the town and includes an education component. Learn about the how the system works\, how it affects the town and how we hope to use it as a tool for Needham’s students. \nWe will also hear lessons learned and success stories about solar projects on the rooftops of Needham homes and a Needham church. These projects also have been generating power for many Needhamites and there’s potential for even more. \nHave questions about the RTS project? Meet the people who helped make it a reality. \nCurious about solar for your home or business? Come talk to our “Solar Ambassadors” about their experiences (joys and frustrations) of “going solar”. \n \n  \nFor more information\, contact \nNick Hill\, Green Needham Collaborative \nNickhill1@verizon.net \n617-429-3862

SUMMARY:GNC Program: Greening Your Electricity: How you can choose clean energy
DESCRIPTION:Green Needham will explain the options for any electric customer to bring more renewable energy into the grid — even if you’re not a candidate for solar panels. The list of green energy choices is growing — from having a share in a “solar garden” to opting to buy green power. What are the different green energy choices\, how do those options support clean energy\, and how do they affect your electric bill? After a brief presentation\, there will be time to ask questions and to speak with representatives of various green energy offerings. \nThe program will take place the Needham Library at 7 p.m. on Monday\, March 2. \nTake this opportunity to learn more about your options\, and then take action to opt for “green energy” – your choice can make a difference in addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gases.

SUMMARY:Solar Open House - Afternoon Event
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Solar Open House: \n 1:30-4:00 at the Needham home of Tyson and Yasmine King – see a “Live” demo of their home’s Solar System and other energy saving technologies (33 Lakin Street)\nTyson and Yasmine’s home is also equipped with some of the most advanced energy monitoring systems. Their home is integrated with smart devices on their appliances and other electrical devices\, giving them total command of the thermostat\, locks\, lights and more from a smartphone\, tablet\, or PC. Their home’s thermostat and lights also turn on when needed\, and off when not needed. So in a simplified effort to be energy efficient yet maintain optimum comfort\, the system will not only display solar power generation\, but will also profile how/where all of the energy is used inside the home.

SUMMARY:Solar 101 Workshop - Fall 2013
DESCRIPTION:Postponed! — Due to the anticipated 2nd night for November’s Special Town meeting\, to be held on November 6th\, we have to find a new date for this session.    \nWe also now know that the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center expects to inform communities whether they have been chosen for the fall 2013 Solarize Massachusetts program before Thanksgiving\, just a few weeks from now.  We will select a new date for Solar 101 once we know whether we have been selected for the Solarize program.   \n\nHave you wondered if solar is right for your house?  If so\, join us as Green Needham once again offers our well-received Solar 101\, an introduction and guide to residential solar energy for homeowners\, as part of our ongoing “Living Green in Needham” series.    \nWe will explain the technology and terminology of solar PV (photovoltaic) and solar thermal systems\, the criteria homeowners should consider before proceeding\, and acquisition and financing options (lease versus purchase).   \nAs with our initial Solar 101 held in March\, we will invite Needham’s Building Commissioner\, David Roche\, to review what the Building Department will look for from the homeowner and the installer to ensure a safe and timely installation.   \nWe will also cover the questions that homeowners should ask of installers\, and tips from Needham residents who have been through the process.     \nFollowing the presentation\, we expect to have several Needham homeowners and their installers available for questions and consultation. \nPresented in partnership with Needham Community Education\, Solar 101 will take place on Wednesday\, November 6th from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at Needham High School. \nRegister through Needham Community Education by phone at 781-455-0400 x 235 (8 am – 4 pm).  There is a registration fee of $10.   \nRefer to the Needham Adult Education Catalog/Fall 2013 (last page) for information on registering by fax\, mail or in person. The Solar 101 session is listed on page 6.

SUMMARY:Rooftop solar panels - a Needham open house
DESCRIPTION:Have you thought about putting solar panels on your roof? Because of various state and federal tax credits and incentives\, solar is more affordable than ever. \nNeedham resident Ken Farbstein wrote to tell us about his experience: \n“I am a Needham resident who had a solar electricity system installed last year.  On Saturday\, February 11\, I am hosting an open house at my home from noon- to 2 p.m. at 307 Brookline Ave. I will be there to answer questions\, and will be joined by a representative of Sunlight Solar\, the company that installed the panels. \nI know it’s hard to believe\, but after taking advantage of tax rebates and receiving payments for the clean energy produced\, I am financially in the black with my photovoltaic system. Stop by and find out more!” \nSend Ken an e-mail or call him at 781 444-5525 with questions.
