While a home solar system can be a great investment, not every home is suitable for a solar installation.  New York residents have the opportunity to sign up for community solar, but the options can be confusing.  This presentation will provide an overview of solar options by Sustainable Warwick along with descriptions of contrasting community models by representatives of Solstice and SunCommon.  Join us to learn how the worst alternative for consumers is to decline a solar option.

John Hathorn, his militia, and the people of our area during the late 1700s.  Copies will be available for purchase & signing.
