Solar Nova Scotia is delighted to announce TWO Solar courses in Sydney on Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th of June!
This course was specifically created for carpenters and contractors who are planning to build passive solar homes with air recirculated heat storage slabs. Others are also welcome.
This is an all-day course.
Learn the underlying basics of the relationship between us and the Sun, the amount of resource that’s available to us, and the ways that we can harness that resource.

Solar Nova Scotia will have a booth across from Nova Scotia Power.
All sites are not created equal. While the full benefits of passive solar can only be gained with an unobstructed southern exposure, many sites offer less. Of course, solar is only one consideration, and not necessarily the most important. To get the most out of it, you will have to plan your site.
In 2014, several Saint Mary's University Business students did a study on the needs of Solar Nova Scotia members and potential members.
This objective was addressed by gathering, consolidating and presenting input from members and interested parties, then gathering ideas and gaining commitments to action. These were achieved by using a digital survey followed by an in person presentation and workshop.
