Girl Scouts Visit Solar Design Center

On Friday, October 14, Green Convergence had the privilege of hosting local Santa Clarita girl scouts at the Valencia Solar Design Center. Nadia Foley, one of our solar energy consultants, taught a Solar 101 course for the girl scouts about what solar energy is, how it works, and how it protects the environment. When the girl scouts arrived, Big Mouth Pizza Co. off Newhall Ranch Rd. in Valencia, donated and delivered lunch for the girl scouts. After Nadia taught about solar, she showed the group the difference between a SunPower solar cell and the normal conventional cell with cell breaking kits. Each girl scout ripped, banged, and attempted to mutilate the SunPower solar cell causing minimal damage. However, with the conventional solar panel, they easily broke it (to their surprise) just by touching it!
