On 13th June starting at 7pm

Colin Palmer who is one of our members and Chairman of ‘Wight Community Energy’ will be talking about how solar power is coming of age, “Solar Power: a Bright Future.”

Prices are falling rapidly and in many places power from the sun is cheaper than from fossil fuels. Investment in solar power is now much greater than in conventional power sources.

How has this happened and what challenges do we face in moving to a solar powered world?

Colin will explain how photovoltaics work, how the dramatic price reductions have happened and how the combination of solar power and storage could power the world.
