/ 1 / Solar Open House Tour & Potluck April 17th
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join us for the Spring Solar Tour on Sunday, April 17th from 2-5 pm.
We will begin at a new active solar house complete with interior
cistern and hydronic floor heating from roofmounted arrays near
Musquodoboit Harbour. The home is also off-grid with pv array and
backup generator.
Next we will visit Derek and Marta for a second time, because their
home has been almost entirely redone. An initial Interhab home has
been tripled in size and new heating systems added. This house is
also offgrid. Both houses have lovely ocean views.
The tour is available only to Solar Nova Scotia members, but you can
join on the tour. A potluck takes place at the last house, so bring
something to share that keeps for a few hours.
To reserve a spot and get directions, write back or call Norval
Collins at 455-8417 or Dan MacKay at 499-0488.
