Solar energy is all around. The trick is capturing it and making it into something useful. It’s easy if you’re a flower, but if you’re not, the next speaker in Portola Valley’s monthly Green Speaker series may be able to help you take advantage of the sunshine around your home.
A free public talk, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Solar Energy But Were Afraid to Ask,” is set to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, in the Community Hall at 765 Portola Road.
The speaker is Craig Rush, a volunteer for local sustainability initiatives and a salesman for San Jose solar contractor Horizon Energy Systems. He will explain how to tap into the sun’s thermal radiation and its electrical potential, including how to figure out how big a system you need, according to an announcement from the town.
The town does not endorse the speakers or the information they disclose in this series.
An online bio describes Mr. Rush as certified to perform home energy audits by Palo Alto-based Acterra’s Green@Home program, a member of the sustainability task force in Foster City, a voluntary adviser and solar-panel installer in low-income neighborhoods, and a master composter.
