VI. Board Member Reports
Larry Johnston reported back on his experience at the SoCal energy conference. He explained that the cost of solar panels has decreased substantially, that there are companies that will do free energy audits, and that the cost savings are obvious. He suggested that MLH investigate what it would take to implement a solar program. Additionally, a “collective” may be an option for homes and buildings that do not get enough direct sunlight to be effective. This is something that the Town may be interested in. Bill Taylor mentioned that solar-thermal may be more cost-effective in some instances than solar-photovoltaic.
