Family Solar Day

Solar PV day San Diego

Several hundred San Diegans helped launch Solar Energy Week at Family Solar Day held at historic Liberty Station on Sunday, Sept. 27. There was fun in the sun with a mild ocean breeze as visitors checked out the 30+ companies and organizations that exhibited solar-related products and services, marveled at foods prepared by the Solar Cooking Club and enjoyed the San Diego girl-band Pink Army.

Both Jack FM and AM 760 radio stations set up booths with games and prizes, and CCSE held free raffles throughout the day. Speakers included Andrew McAllister, CCSE director of programs, and Gail Welch, manager of sustainability for Qualcomm, co-presenter and sponsor of Solar Energy Week. Rides on solar-powered mini-cars and face painting were big hits with the kids.

CCSE thanks Family Solar Day sponsors Qualcomm, Walmart, Sullivan Solar, REC Solar and Solar Plus.

Notable & Quotable

"The scientists are virtually screaming from the rooftops now. The debate is over! There's no longer any debate in the scientific community about this. But the political systems around the world have held this at arm's length because it's an inconvenient truth, because they don't want to accept that it's a moral imperative."

- Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth
