Hi All,

Hope these two events tomorrow with Jeremy Leggett, CEO of solarcentury, the UK's largest independent solar electric solutions company at the CULTIVATE Living and Learning Centre will be of interest to some. (Mods, okay to post events for non-profits?)

15-19 Essex St. West | Temple Bar | Dublin 8 | 01 674 6396
www.cultivate.ie

1) ÉASCA - The Solar Showcase
Tuesday March 13th | 2 - 4.30pm | €25 pre-booked at 01 674 5773 / €30
at the door | Special discount for Cultivate & ÉASCA Members: €15
pre-booked / €18 at the door

Workshop with Jeremy Leggett, CEO of solarcentury, the UK's largest
independent solar electric solutions company, one of the UK's fastest
growing tech companies, and winner of the FT-Treasury Inner City 100
Greenest Company award.

Discover Solarcentury's range of innovative solar products,
particularly the "CompleteSolarRoof", using the C21e solar electric and
C21t solar thermal tiles disguised as conventional roof tiles,
generating electricity and hot water respectively.

The CompleteSolarRoof offers significant savings on energy bills to the
end-users. A typical system will generate over 60% of the hot water
requirements for a three-bedroom home.

The C21e photovoltaic tile uses the most efficient cells available on
the market, requiring just 8m2 per kWp and generating 800kWh of
electricity per year from this area. Excess electrical energy produced
by the C21e can be sold to the national grid.

The C21t solar hot water roof tile uses solar energy to heat water for
washing, bathing and heating. As part of The C21 family, it is an
‘integrated tile’, which replaces four conventional roof tiles and
fixes to standard roofing battens using normal fixing screws. Each tile
uses push-fit connectors to plug in to the next tile and the system is
plumbed in to the existing hot water system by a regular plumber

2) Connecting Climate Change and Peak Oil
A lecture and discussion with Jeremy Leggett | Tuesday March 13th |
7.30 - 9.30pm | €15.00

The first of a six-week lecture series on 'Understanding and Taking
Action on Climate Change.' Jeremy Leggett has been described by Time
Magazine as 'one of the key players in putting the climate issue on the
world agenda.' He was an award-winning scientist, oil-industry
consultant, and Greenpeace campaigner before setting up Solarcentury.
His first book, "The Carbon War," has been described by the Sunday
Times as "the best book yet on the politics of global warming." and his
second book "Half Gone - OIL, gas, hot air and the global energy
crisis" focuses on two related dangers: how we'll run out of oil far
sooner than we think and how burning what's left of it will warm our
planet to a catastrophic level.
