Solar Water Heating Expo Shines

Rainy weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the 20 vendors and approximately 200 interested San Diegans, who attended the first-ever Solar Water Heating Expo at CCSE held on June 20. Assembly Member Lori Saldaña (76th District) addressed a full room of workshop attendees at the Expo, stressing the importance of solar water heating and net zero energy homes.

The event drew TV reporters from KUSI and WB6 who interviewed Director of Programs Andrew McAllister and Program Manager Annie Henderson about the importance of solar water heating as a renewable technology and the rebates available through the Solar Water Heating Pilot Program. The pilot program is scheduled to end in December.

Notable & Quotable

"If we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts. I think we should be developing every kind of alternative fuel that is available to us. That includes hydrogen to soybeans, from solar to wind. Whatever we can find that is going to help us clean up the environment we should be working really hard on developing."
