“Residential Solar in Carson” was the topic in focus last night at the Carson Community Center. Arranged by the SBCCOG and the City of Carson, and supported by the SolSmart and The Solar Foundation, the July 9th evening workshop provided South Bay residents with information about the benefits, challenges and opportunities of going solar. Carson’s Reata Kulcsar welcomed the group assembled. Many came early and were eager to learn. Ted Flanigan introduced EcoMotion and its solar consulting services, emphasizing that “we are not in the business of selling anything. Instead, our corporate mission is to help homeowners, businesses, and institutions of all kinds get the best quality, cost-effective solar solutions.” Solar Specialists Shaun Miller and Michael Ware then presented a comprehensive slide deck — Solar 101 – that covered solar basics, storage, EV integration, financing, how to advance your solar interest, plus contact information and links to key websites and solar resources. Shaun and Michael then fielded numerous questions from the homeowners assembled; some stayed on to get personalized insights. Several workshop participants commented that they’d heard so many pitches – like “no-cost solar” – that they found the workshop and EcoMotion’s objective remarks refreshing and useful. They can follow up with the City of Carson for support. Participants now have a basic understanding, a bit of inspiration and encouragement, and a set of resources to help them go solar.
