These seminars offer the chance to learn more about three of the most common types of renewable energy: Solar Thermal Heating, Solar Electricity, and Wind Electricity. Three separate seminars answer some of the frequently asked questions about these types of energy and how they work in Michigan. System siting, installation, economics, and more will be discussed. Participants will also learn how to take advantage of solar energy tax credits in 2006 and 2007.
