We are pleased to announce that we will be presenting our findings in Denver at the annual American Solar Energy Society Conference!

Title: Green-Roof Integrated PV Canopies – An Empirical Study and Teaching Tool for Low Income Students in the South Bronx
Date: May 13-17, 2012 (Specific day/time to come soon)

I’d like to bring one of my involved high school students, however, we don’t have the funding for this. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in supporting a high school student from the South Bronx, please email me at nwight.

See you in Denver!
