We hope to provide the basics of what is a very complex subject.  
Tune in to learn more about:

  • The history of solar energy

  • Basic components of systems

  • How the EcoVillage will utilize solar power

  • Addressing "dirty electricity" and Electro-magnetic hyper-sensitivity

  • How we might tie into electric vehicles

  • Alternative architectural solutions

  • Funding sources

Mark Connolly is an Engineer, providing sustainable facility solutions that maximize energy cost savings while maintaining occupant comfort and productivity, working in the development and construction of efficiency and renewable energy projects.  He is currently working on a regional plan for community solar energy and the Ready For 100 program, consulting with Townships to put together their action plans.

Please RSVP if you would like to participate remotely. We will send you the Zoom link and password by May 15th. We will be glad to stick around after the Discussion on Zoom to answer your questions about the project.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of our future residents, even though it is virtual.
