Alert EMUTalk.org reader/Ypsi Food Co-Op guy/Solar power enthusiast Dave Stenski sent me the following the other day:
I wanted to make your blog aware of a local solar power project that is getting a lot of help from EMU professor William Sverdlik and student Nik Estep .
You can see the webpage at SolarYpsi.com and watch real time graphs of power being generated at the Ypsilanti Food Cooperative at:
http://solar.ypsi.com/index.php?siteDetails=foodcoop
Nik has been doing most of the programming for the website and graphs.
We will be adding solar panels to the back of City Hall and the Cooperative’s bakery this summer. Those too will have real time graphs.
Cool stuff, and since I personally was something of a solar power enthusiast as a junior high student (no, I’m not really sure why, but yes, I think having solar panels to generate some electricity and/or to year some water would be pretty cool), I am even more enthusiastic to pass along this small but classic link between EMU and Ypsilanti. Keep up the good work, and get those solar panels on city hall!
