Fit Club South is hosting the public July 24th to show off their new solar panels. They're doing a rooftop tour and presentation on the benefits of solar power, plus a bicycle prize drawing.
I believe they're the first local business to install commercial rooftop solar. They join the new IBEW Local 193 hall that has solar panels and a geothermal system.
It looks like solar power is on the rise in Springfield! Developing local sources of renewable energy should be one of the city's top priorities for job creation and in preparation for likely regulation of carbon.
Check out this video and all the nerdy details at Haenig Electric if you can't wait for the tour.
