Let the sun shine in By Carol Wheeler

Whether you’re interested in improving the planet’s ecology or saving money, using the sun to heat your water is a goal worth working towards. But how to do it? At last the answer is at hand. Enrique Orvañanos, the head of a company called Soluciones Solares (Solar Solutions), explains how it’s done and enumerates the benefits that can flow from the sun into our homes.

According to Orvañanos, solar energy is one the best investments you can make. Equipping a home for two to four occupants might cost US$1500–$3000, an amount you could recover in a few years’ time with the savings on gas.

The solar heaters available from Solar Solutions take up less space on roofs and patios; they are also “totally safe,” according to the company’s bilingual website, http://www.solsol.com.mx. 

Come to find out how you can fit in to the new world of solar energy, a resource that’s so abundant in San Miguel. At this presentation, an expert on solar energy explains how to save money and help save the planet at the same time. You also have the chance to ask Orvañanos the questions you’ve always wanted answered.

As always, Audubon members get free admission. For US$30, you can become a member of Audubon and attend presentations throughout the year at no charge. The popular Audubon field guides to birds and butterflies also are on sale at the event.
