December\u2019s meeting will feature Rickey Sipila who runs \u201cSisu Solar\u201d a local solar energy installer. This will be followed in January by a discussion led by Hudson Kingston who has solar on his home and is in the process of installing more. This series will cover costs and savings, timescales, estimates, batteries or grid connected, and other topics.
