Earth's Greatest Resource - Solar Electric 101 Meeting & Tour

Join Green Energy Ohio this month as we explore Earth’s Greatest Resource and how it can be harnessed to produce electricity. The meeting and tour will be held at Warren Roofing & Insulating Company where a solar-ready, green roof and 18.3 kW solar electric system were installed in the Spring of 2010. Attendees will hear from staff at Warren Roofing, as well as representatives from Mariner Energy Systems, Lewin & Associates, Mason Steel and Lake Erie Electric that were all involved in the project. The project has been recognized in the June Issue of Property Magazine and Builders Exchange Magazine, and underpins how ripe the time is for businesses to invest in solar.



Trevor Cost, Project Manager at Warren Roofing & Insulating Company says, “Since our decision to proceed, and after seeing the efficiency of the system as designed by Mariner Energy and Lake Erie Electric, we now think our payback period is a more realistic three years. Also, since we qualify for 78 renewable energy credits, we understand that this shortened payback might be even less.”



After speakers provide an overview of the project and technologies utilized onsite, attendees will be able to get a behind the scenes tour of the green roof and solar array.
