Postponed!<\/b> — 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<\/b>. <\/p>\n
We 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. <\/p>\n
Have you wondered if solar is right for your house? If so, join us as Green Needham once again offers our well-received Solar 101<\/strong>, an introduction and guide to residential solar energy for homeowners, as part of our ongoing “Living Green in Needham” series. <\/p>\n We 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). <\/p>\n As with our initial Solar 101 held in March, we will invite Needham’s Building Commissioner, David Roche<\/b>, to review what the Building Department will look for from the homeowner and the installer to ensure a safe and timely installation. <\/p>\n We will also cover the questions that homeowners should ask of installers, and tips from Needham residents who have been through the process. <\/p>\n Following the presentation, we expect to have several Needham homeowners and their installers available for questions and consultation.<\/p>\n Presented in partnership with Needham Community Education<\/a>, Solar 101 will take place on Wednesday, November 6th<\/b> from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at Needham High School.<\/p>\n Register through Needham Community Education<\/a> by phone at 781-455-0400 x 235 (8 am – 4 pm). There is a registration fee of $10. <\/p>\n
