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 technologies and costs, and discuss financing options.
The Solar Panel:
Tracy Fitz, LEED AP, Founder, City Solar
Thomas Gately, Founder, Green Power Solutions
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
