Curious about solar energy, either for a rehab, a long term hold property, or even your own house? Wondering how to make it pay, and navigate the labyrinth of energy tax credits? Can you add solar to a rehab and reap additional profit?
Stephen Hirsh is the President of Solar Farm Bank, specializing in Renewable Energy production in MA, NH and VT.
Here are some of the points he will discuss:
·Why Solar energy is the new granite counter top in rehab projects
·Different types of renewable energy and which is the most practical for you
·How solar is good for your business
·Tips on selling a property with a solar installation
·Why photovoltaic
·How solar can improve the profit on a project
·How to tell if it will work on your site
Stephen works with developers and redevelopers in determining if solar will work for your project, handling installation from start to finish, and maximizing your savings and profit from the installation.You will leave with a good understanding of how to best determine if solar will work on your next project, and what next steps to take.

I really enjoyed the meetup! I was extremely skeptical at first thinking it would just be one big pitch, but definitely gave me some great information as I try to soak as much as I can in while starting out. It also gave me a great chance to meet a few BP members I have briefly talked to on BP. While it doesn't seem like I will be able to make the next one, I plan to attend as many as possible in the future. Thanks so much!
I'll be there! Looking forward to meeting you and several others from BP at the meeting tomorrow. Class got out early tonight so hopefully I get out early tomorrow as well so I'm not late. Either way I will be there just might be late if class runs the full length. Have a great night!
I have to say I was very impressed with the turn out tonight. There were a lot more people than I was expecting and I had several very positive conversations with some of the members. I ran out of business cards lol. Thank you very much for inviting me. I look forward to being able to contribute to the group much more once I get things up and running in MA.
To all that have not attended a Black Diamond meet up, I highly recommend you take the time to do so.
Thanks, @Robert Adams , glad you could make it, attendance count was 103, which is about average for the Waltham location.
Sorry you didn't win the award for travelling the longest distance to come to a meeting. Eastern Europe beat you out!
lol I held the record for longest distance traveled for about 3 seconds! I will definitely be attending future meets ups. One of the members will actually be in Vegas next week, so hopefully I will be able to link up with him again in my area. Thanks again.

My guess is that it is a little more common for people to go from Waltham to Vegas than the other way around. :)

I just got my MA website up and running. It is a work in progress as there is still a lot of things I want to add/edit etc but at least the ball is rolling.
I wanted to point out my most recent blog post talking about Black Diamond and my experience at my first meeting. If there is anything you would like to add or comment on I would love to have post a comment. This is the first time I have blogged about an REIA, but I was very impressed with your group and wanted to help share the info with others. You can find the post here:

It was a pleasure meeting you there as well. I had the chance to meet several people from BP that I had only interacted with online previous to the meetup. It is good to shake some hands and put a face to name or online avatar lol.
