Sustainable Westport sponsored a three-part free Residential Energy Learning Series designed to provide residents with information, resources, and the confidence to kick off their energy-saving home improvement projects. Our final event, “Everything Solar,” was held on January 23, 2024  at the Westport Library. 

The event began with a welcome and introductions from Sustainable Westport’s Residential Energy Team Leader, Dede McDowell. Expert panelists John Rountree, Owner and Chief Architect of Rountree Architect, and Nathan Hernandez and Chris Lenda from Aegis Solar, shared an informative presentation on the process of transitioning a home or business to solar energy. Their presentation covered how solar panels work, how to choose a solar installation company, key design and installation considerations, and the expected ROI from going solar, as well as financing options, and federal and state incentives. The panel also included a presentation by Jim Wolf, a Westport resident who recently went through the process of installing solar. The evening concluded with lively Q&A from our engaged audience.
