Celebrate 10 Years of Solar Energy in Vancouver

Join Vancouver Renewable Energy (VREC) and SPEC as we celebrate 10 years of grid-tie photovoltaic energy in Vancouver.

In July 2005, VREC installed the first grid-tie photovoltaic (electric solar energy) system in Vancouver on the SPEC (Society Promoting Environmental Conservation) Energy Demonstration Centre. ​The system was installed with support from Vancity and the Real Estate Foundation. A year ago with the support of the Bullfrog Power community, they were relocated to the MEC store at 130 W. Broadway where they are still producing clean energy. We will be celebrating the 10th anniversary at that site on July 8th.

Time: 3:30-6:30 PM, July 8, 2015
Location: west side of the roof-top parking lot at 130 W Broadway

What: cake, solar cooked hot dogs, tours of the solar energy system, door prizes and information on 10 years of solar installations in Vancouver
