You and your family are invited to a FREE visit and tour of the largest independent solar energy producer in Southern Colorado. On the RIT Campus was an 1.3 acre undeveloped parcel of land and rather than use it for commercial development it was decided to install a Ground Mounted Solar Array, to support the environment, reduce our carbon footprint, and encourage others to follow our example. Learn about the First, Second, and Third generation solar cells, the first generation polycrystalline silicon cells used at the facility, 3 phase AC power invertors, and regulatory issues involved in designing, building and maintaining the array. There will be presentations and a solar facility walkthrough. Family friendly, free transportation and refreshments provided.
