SIG-Computing
Topic: Understanding Solar Power in Michigan By Dave Strenski:

SolarYpsi has been educating, designing, and installing solar power in Ypsilanti for over ten years. Dave Strenski, the founder of SolarYpsi, will be explaining how solar power works, how it attaches to your home, and the economics of solar power. Come and learn about solar power and bring your latest electric bill so we can size a system for your home.
