Dan Chiras will present at an event on March 12 in St. Louis. National Electric Codes for Photovoltaic Systems is designed for energy professionals, educators, and everyday folks interested in installing a solar energy system. The workshop is co-sponsored by the Missouri Solar Energy Industries Association (MOSEIA) and Dan's company, The Evergreen Institute.
Dan and his team have been very helpful to GreenTown over the years since the tornado, and their advice has helped Greensburg residents save big on utility bills. We are impressed with his breadth and depth of knowledge. He has been working in the solar energy field since the 1970s, and is the author of dozens of great books on all aspects of energy efficiency and green building. On this website in 2009 we reviewed his book, The Natural House, and highly recommend it. When Dan lived in Boulder, the house he designed and built was so efficient that he didn't have to buy energy!
Greensburg GreenTown is a charitable nonprofit organization working in Greensburg, Kansas to rebuild the town following the devastating tornado in May of 2007.
