Photovoltaic technology (”PV”) converts sunlight into electricity. Believe it or not, the Big Apple is one of the most viable and promising locations for solar power in the entire country. Join I Heart PV campaign advocate and coop member Margo Bettencourt, and campaign coordinator Chris Neidl to hear the arguments in support of this claim and discuss current attempts to establish New York as a leader in solar adoption.
Launched by Solar One in 2008, I Heart PV is a people-powered campaign that mobilizes citizen support for pro-solar policies and educates New Yorkers about the potential and benefits of solar power here in the Five Boroughs.
FREE and OPEN TO NON-MEMBERS.
n January of 2008, Solar One inaugurated the I Heart PV campaign, aimed at encouraging lawmakers to create easier and more cost-effective ways to implement solar power in New York State. Since then, we’ve done over 20 presentations around the city, and we’d love to come to your neighborhood, too.
Awareness and interest in solar power is growing every day, and now is the perfect time to pass new incentives and increase public awareness about the benefits that increased solar energy production could bring to our state.
