If you can’t make it, there’s one last workshop coming up April 24th at the Ballard Library.
Why should you consider solar? I’ve waxed poetic about my family’s solar panels in previous posts, with my favorite part being that even though Seattle’s not known for it’s sunny weather, I haven’t paid an electric bill in almost 2 years. Solar works here, and when you are …
