Thanks to the students who participated in our Solar Installation class--you were wonderful to work with and did a great job on the building energy audits as well as the installations of Muhlenberg College's new 3.2 kW system on top of Seegers!  This solar potovoltaic installation was possible in part due to a $15,000 grant from the Sustainable Energy Fund (SEF). Community partners, Eco-Electric and the Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Association (MAREA) made it possible for students to gain hands-on experience and complete the installation.  Please see our energy page for more information.
