Solar thermal technology (pictured above) absorbs the sun’s energy to heat hot water and interior spaces for buildings. While this “other solar” may not be as well known as photovlatics – the fast growing technology that converts light into electricity – its ultimate potential to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is no less promising. And as a distributed rooftop technology with a very attractive return on investment, solar thermal can dramatically slash energy budgets for property owners of all categories right here in the New York City area, where heating prices are among the highest in the country.

Join Chester Birchwood (CEO) Bernie Klinger and Susan Sommers of New York Solar Systems LLC for this comprehensive presentation on solar thermal technology’s potential, diverse applications and economic and environmental benefits. The speakers will provide a complete overview of how the technology works and what it means to be a solar thermal owner in New York.

(New York Solar Systems is a leading provider of solar thermal and high efficiency heating systems based in Canarsie, Brooklyn.)
