Solarthon Race is On

The race will be on this weekend to install eight solar electric systems in one day at GRID Alternatives Solarthon 2008.  This will be an amazing event where teams will outfit Habitat for Humanity houses with solar panels, thereby enabling low-income families to experience the brightness of living off the sun.  Be there or be dim.

Solarthon 2008

WHEN:
Saturday June 28, 2008
8:30 am - 4:30 pm

WHERE:
Habitat for Humanity East Bay
Please see Solarthon

These events fill up quickly, so if registration becomes full, don't despair. Another installation day will soon be in the air.

PG&E and its Solar Habitat Initiative have graciously stepped up to become the event’s flagship supporter.  The new solar systems will generate over $130,000 in clean renewable power over their expected lifespans, while offsetting 400 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

Over 150 volunteers will participate in an uplifting and fun day in the sun for the community and the planet.  If it’s foggy in San Francisco, what better excuse to get out of town, get some rays and celebrate this great energy resource shining down on us every day. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and some friends. Can we do the installations in our bathing suits?
