Managing Lean & Green Workshop - Using Solar to Power and Heat Affordable Housing
Wednesday, April 7th
10am-12pm
Get up to speed on solar thermal and PV — how they work and how to take advantage of incentives
Description
In this workshop, Alison Kling, LEED AP (New York City Solar Coordinator, City University of New York) will provide everything you need to know about NYC’s solar incentives: who’s eligible, why it makes sense, and how to finance. We will also have NYC solar installer, Richard Klein (President, Quixotic Systems) walk us through the solar thermal and PV technologies. Richard is one of only a few solar installers in the New York area with solar thermal expertise and solar thermal project experience.
ALSO!
Round 2 of applications for The NYCEDC Solar Thermal Pilot Program is now available! The application can be downloaded at www.nycedc.com/SolarThermal.
NYCEDC is providing financial incentives (30% of total installed costs up to $50,000) to selected NYC-based businesses and institutions interested in installing a solar thermal system on their building. They will start accepting applications on March 29, 2010 on a rolling basis.
