Green Drinks/Speaker Series IV

Last time, we learned about the nitty-gritty of residential solar from Elliot Freeman of Independent Power.

Our next speaker, Cary Hayes (President of REC - Americas and Impact Advisor to The Honnold Foundation), will teach us about solar in a much larger context.

I'm very excited for this one, y'all. I've distantly admired REC since I started in the solar industry, and lately I've had the pleasure of climbing with Cary at LCC. He's great.
