A new monthly meetup where New Yorkers come to have all their solar power questions answered, get plugged in to local solar activism, enjoy great music, dance, drink beer and make new friends.

What’s happening?

ASK A SOLAR INSTALLER:
Thinking about buying a solar system but don’t know if you can or what to do? Our local solar installers can answer any question you have, on-on-one, about purchasing, installing and owning a solar system in New York.

The I HEART PV LETTER WRITING LOUNGE:
Take your first refreshing step into local solar advocacy by writing a letter to your legislator in support of pro-solar legislation, be lavished with great drink specials for your heroic efforts!

SOLAR POWERED TOY CAR BUILDING CONTEST:
Design, build and take home your own little bundle of solar powered fun. A blue ribbon and bragging rights goes to the most original design.

MUSIC:
‘Energetic freeform’ by DJ Trent Wolbe, host of WFMU 91.1’s ‘Sound and Safe’.

FREE. Must be 21 to drink.

Also, a hearty congrats to GBK’s friend Chris Neidl, advocacy coordinator at Solar1 and founder of I Heart PV, for being selected as one of the GOOD 100 — GOOD Magazine’s annual list of people, businesses, and institutions driving change in the world.

Check out a short video of Chris being interviewed by Roger Numbers, Good’s cartoon newsguy. Great stuff. Congrats Chris!

I Heart PV is a grassroots campaign to make New York a leading solar power adopter through legislative action.

The Solar Soiree is a new monthly event where New Yorkers can come and have fun with friends and strangers, find out about the state of solar power in New York, and get involved in the I Heart PV campaign. Activities include:

• I Heart PV info booths, and general solar-related chattiness. Find out why solar photovoltaics (PV) is so well suited for New York, and what the campaign is doing right now to put our city and state at the center of solar implementation and industry.
• The I Heart PV letter writing bar. Take your first refreshing step into local solar advocacy by writing a letter to your state senator and/or assembly member in support of pro-solar legislation on the spot with the help of our members. It’s super easy and letter writers will be lavished with great drink specials for their heroic efforts!
• Solar-Powered Toy Car Building. Fun for the inner child (involves hot glue guns and knives!!). Design, build and take home your own tiny little bundle of PV fun. Great gift idea for broke gift-givers who have loved ones and friends with relatively low expectations.
• Enjoy hours and hours of ’sun’-titled tracks spun by Southpaw’s own DJ Mikey Palms.

. . . and MUCH MORE!

FREE ENTRANCE, must be 21 to drink!
