Solar Application for Home and Farm

This workshop will give farmers and homeowners ideas and knowledge applicable to energy-demanding tasks. Need to light a shed? Power a remote water pump? Open a door on a hot greenhouse? Automatically turn on a fan to cool the garage? Or how about installing (or having a professional install!) an array large enough to power your entire home or farm? Al these will be discussed conceptually and practically in this workshop sponsored by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association’s Lake Effect Chapter.

Included will be a hands-on experience wiring up solar panels to help learn electricity fundamentals, empowering attendees to tackle a do-it-yourself solar project; or at least to help them converse intelligently with a solar installer.
