Show and Tell

The Show and Tell series is a sort of loose salon/ show and tell/ discussion event featuring practitioners actively experimenting with new methods or ideas in a particular area of creative or DIY solar power. For the duration of covid-19 in NYC, all events will occur remotely.

There are a ton of topics in this space that are rarely discussed in public and this is an attempt to create a space to be able to share some of these discussions, develop the community in this space, and make this field more accessible.

Future topics might included PV wearables, laser cutting PV, personal responsibility vs corporate accountability, photovoltaic public art, among others.
