The Solwest Renewable Energy Fair is coming up. Scheduled for July 28 – 30 in John Day, Oregon this year’s annual weekend event will include workshops on everything from “Configuring Your Wind System” to “Solar Cookery”, 50 workshops in all. Plenty of experts will be on hand to answer questions and give demonstrations on all things renewable energy. A Pre-Solwest workshop will be held beforehand on July 26 & 27 to covering the installation of a solar hot water system.
“Students will install a whole house domestic solar hot water system, consisting of a 56 square foot collector on the roof circulating freeze-proof heat transfer fluid, a 120-gallon solar storage tank with built in double-wall heat exchanger, and a 30-watt photovoltaic module which powers the 12 volt DC pump that circulates the fluid when the sun is shining on the panel.”
Wow- plenty to do, to see, and to learn. The other workshops are free with the reasonable price of admission and camping is available. You can find more information on this event, attended annually by more than 2,00 people in search of information on how to live more sustainably, by visiting SolWest.
More information on the Pre-Solwest solar hot water system workshop is available here.
