Hi Barb, you will receive a follow up email with links to resources including the latest Solar Resources Guide!

Re design of array—the best technical placement on roof left the array practically invisible to community. An architect in the congregation designed a sun-rain shade over main entrance which held 20+ panels very visible to the community and streets and roads—our prophetic statement of creation care. We’ve had hundreds of inquiries over the years since our array was installed.

Can you share about the quilt pew covers

Jeff Berner, University Lutheran, Seattle WA. Peace to all.

Thank you IPL!

Thank you to all of the stellar panelists!

developing countries power needs are much less than ours so can take the "reduced power" of the older panels

Thank you!

Thank you to CIPL for organizing this!

Thanks everyone!
