[SPN-Discussion] Solar thermal expert panel discussion - October 22

[Kiku Loomis]

The New York Solar Energy Society presents:

Solar in the City: Episode III – We're in Hot Water

Thursday, October 22, 2009 • 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
New York University • Stern School of Business
44 W 4th St., Rm 1 70 in the Henry Kaufman Management Center

Solar Hot Water is the misunderstood cousin of solar PV, yet this  
simple technology has worked reliably for over a hundred years. The  
costs are minimal, and can be recouped in less time than solar PV due  
to superior efficiency.
This panel will explore the opportunities for solar hot water and  
heating, provide insight on available technolo‐gies and costs, and  
discuss financing options.

The Solar Panel:
Tracy Fitz, LEED AP, Founder, City Solar
Jeff Perlman CEM, LEED, President and founder, BrightPower
Tate Rider, Senior Project Manager, Renewable Energy, NYC Economic  
Development Corporation
Doug A. Wilke, Wilke Architects and Engineering
Moderator: Kiku Loomis, NYC Events Director, NYSES

mal systems are being developed every day. We will review the  
different technologies available. • Solar hot water or solar thermal  
around the globe •
Solar hot water is widely used around the globe and Hawaii. Why not  
here? • The solar thermal business case for residential and small to  
medium sized businesses and ROI •
Solar financing, existing incentives, barriers to growing solar  
thermal and ways to overcome these challenges  Who should attend?
