Eastern Mennonite University tour

I had the opportunity today to tour the solar roof top of the library at Easter Mennonite University.  A retired engineer in the county arranged for James Sattva and myself to meet university officials and the representative from Secure Futures, a firm in Staunton, VA.  This is one of my first steps to bring solar energy production to the town of Luray and Page County Schools.  Mr. Sattva already has a smaller system in place on the roof of the Tech Center.  We are exploring how we can scale up alternative energy usage in the schools.  One of my long term goals isto better incorporate curriculum in alternative energy and have working systems on campus where the general public can learn also.
