Talk by Guyonne James

TOURISM:

WHAT LIES BEHIND THE SUNSHINE AND SMILES?

Guyonne is an expert and activist in Sustainability, Tourism and Development

A new event from the Highgate Society’s “21st Century Homes: character – comfort – low carbon” initiative.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED about putting solar panels on your roof to generate electricity or produce hot water?  Are you interested in how it can work on schools, community buildings or businesses?   Have you been thinking it might be interesting to put some funds into a community solar project?   Perhaps you are just interested to see how it works?

Then come to our Saturday event at St Michael’s school, Highgate – meet national and local experts, including installers, and speak with neighbours about their solar roofs!

Come and find out about

• how a solar roof could work for you
• current government incentives
• what it costs
• solar options for conservation areas
• solar PV for electricity
• solar thermal for hot water (and maybe even heating)
• solar on schools and community buildings
• what about investing in a community solar scheme?
• planning guidelines and building regulations
• finding professional advice
• the solar revolution!
