Solar and Sustainability Events

SEPTEMBER 11-12: NMSEA SOLAR FIESTA - ABQ

The Solar Fiesta (September 11-12 at Menaul School, 10am-5pm) is the largest annual event presented by New Mexico Solar Energy Association.  "What a Bright Idea!"  It connects green-minded folk with businesses, schools and other organizations focused on sustainable industries, fulfilling our mission to promote clean, renewable energy and sustainability in New Mexico through education, empowerment, collaboration and advocacy. 
 
Not only do we have an array of workshops and exhibits about solar itself, we provide information and products to help people prepare for solar—by making their homes more comfortable and more efficient (less expensive) to heat, cool, light and power.  Exhibitors and speakers are available as experts to answer attendees’ questions face-to-face.  We appreciate Solar Fiesta's sponsors - PNM, Unirac, Inc., Array Technologies, Inc. and Sacred Power Corp. - who help to underwrite the event.

Our surveys of past attendees show that word-of-mouth is one of the two biggest ways that people hear about the Solar Fiesta.  That's where you come in.

Please spread the word about this robust, inexpensive weekend of solar and sustainability education!  Commit to telling 10 friends and neighbors about the event.  Print and post a copy of the Solar Fiesta poster at a local store or at your office, church or gym.
