Rebecca, What an awesome program!  I wish we were doing that here, where the sun warmed us to 94 degrees today!  I want the solar shingles Dow is testing in Colorado this year.  Hopefully they will make it to the valley soon.,

The "Do It Yourself Solar Panel Workshop and Installation" event is an idea that should be copied by many communities.  You should do a series of blogs on the topics.
