SolarBC provides incentives, training, municipal funding, and facilitates the installation of solar hot water systems throughout the province.
The Edwards family joined the renewable resource revolution after watching a neighbour clear-cut all the trees from his lot. Tim and Tammy Edwards decided to offset the natural loss by harnessing the sun’s energy with an Apricus solar hot water system installed by SolarBC Registered Installer Via Solar. "We decided to turn a negative into a positive and use the sunlight now available to us," says Tami. "Besides, the government has made it so attractive with the incentives available that we would be crazy not to do it."
What is our energy use? How does it compare to others? What are available alternatives to being on the Grid? Beyond fluorescent light bulbs: How can I reduce my consumption?
These are the kind of questions that we will address in the Sustainable Energy Options workshop.
