Residential solar technologies are evolving at a fast clip, as are the policies that support solar generation. Expert Doug McKenzie will discuss the latest solar products and technologies that can extend solar’s reach in your life, plus the policies that are advancing or limiting the future of solar in our region, state, and country. This presentation and Q&A is useful for people who have already gotten solar, and those who are still considering and want to take a deeper dive. Bring your questions!
Topics include:
Panels & Inverters
Electric Vehicles
Batteries: Can you be independent from the grid? Even in a power outage?
Getting Off Gas: electrification of the systems in your home
Community Choice Energy: what CCE is and how it works with solar customers.
Policies: policies and efforts that promote or stymie solar
