Do It Yourself Solar with Giles Larsen

Find out how easy and affordable it is to install solar power on your own home!  Come learn about solar power from Wasatch Community Gardens' own Giles Larsen, our Parks for Produce Coordinator.  What are you waiting for?  Go solar!

*ON-LINE REGISTRATION CLOSES FRIDAY, JUNE 16TH AT NOON FOR THIS EVENT*

In this workshop, Giles will cover all the solar basics such as design principles, equipment options, and cost comparisons.

Please come prepared with your total annual kilowatt hour (KWH) energy consumption, which you can find on your electric bills or your online utility account.

Added bonus:  There will be a free optional site visit to a DIY solar array after the workshop in the early afternoon (details to follow).

Our solar workshop instructor, Giles Larsen, is the Parks for Produce Coordinator for WCG.  In this role, he oversees six community gardens in the Salt Lake valley.  A fan of all things local, Giles also helps homeowners harvest Utah's abundant solar energy with his consulting business, Solar Sapiens.

This workshop is held in the TURN Community Services space inside Artspace Commons at 423 W 800 S.   Artspace Commons is a large concrete and glass building.

Parking is free and is located all along 800 South, or along 400 West, or you may park in any space within the U-shaped parking lot which is accessed from 800 South, immediately west of the Artspace Commons building.

Entry to the building is from 800 South, underneath the very large Artspace Commons sign (see attached photo of woman standing in front of building).  This door to the street will be unlocked.

As you enter the building, proceed forward a few feet toward the elevator and then turn right to go down the hallway.  Our workshop is in Training Room Number 1 (aka the Board/Conference Room), which is the SECOND DOOR ON THE LEFT past the elevator (we will have the door open for you!).
