The DC Solar Flare Renewable Energy Tech Show is a SOLAR EVENT with solar energy technology exhibits
The DC Solar Flare is a FREE community-based renewable energies tech fare with open access to and for all! The Flare aims to show everyone - from students to home-owners - the ease and affordability of clean solar energy.

“This is the future of energy,” said Taylor High School student Jacob Bishop, 16. “One day, everyone's house will have solar panels on the rooftops. I just believe that's going to happen because these fossil fuels aren't going to work forever.”
In the small Central Texas town of Taylor, high school students are harnessing solar power to fuel an entertainment center in a donated van.
Happy Global Wind Energy Day!!
If the problem is aesthetic quality . . .
super cool!

Just one example of how Solar can be installed affordably, and bring in much needed energy savings! Great work Skyline Innovations!
APAH recently installed solar panels on one buildingat Columbia Grove Apartments to reduce hot water heating costs. The panels were funded in part by a grant from the Virginia Department of Minerals and Mines. Skyline Innovations installed 60 solar panels, serving 6 buildings (88 units) at Columbia Grove. We expect to save $5,000 a year for the first 10 years and then $10,000 a year after that. (Savings for the first 10 years is shared with the installer.)
