Solar Seminar
On Jan 25, 2020 LPCF hosted our inaugural lecture in a new seminar series where we invite guests to speak about topics important to our mountain community. The topic was Solar, a timely topic as people have been wondering how to keep lights on during the PGE PSPS and outages.
The format was a presentation followed by Q&A with a panel including representatives from local installers and other subject matter experts. Topics discussed included how to tell if your home is a good candidate for solar, factors that impact solar panel performance and reliability, current market trends, value of adding a battery storage system, troubleshooting tips for existing installations, and where to go for more information.
The session was well attended with a full crowd of 50+ people; there was not a single empty seat left (you could say it was standing room crowd).
Speakers and panelists at the session were:
- Tamir Lance – mechanical engineer; solar systems and solar module design
- Hai-Yue Han – electrical engineer and battery expert
- Alyssa Traube – Service Department Manager at Allterra Solar
- Tamlyn McKenzie – solar system design and engineering at Alterra Solar
- David Morgan – regional sales manager at Simply Solar
The slides from Tamir and Hai-Yue’s presentations can be downloaded at this link.
