Location

Appalachian Energy Systems cordially invites you to attend the Gettysburg Solar Tour. The tour will originate in historic Cashtown, just west of the Civil War Battlefields, at The Amazing Heart Farm (located behind Mussleman's Greenhouses.) Visitors will be able to view recently installed solar thermal evacuated tube collectors, manufactured by EarthNet Energy and Heat Transfer Products, working side by side to produce hot water as well as radiant floor heating and growing table heating for the potting greenhouse of The Amazing Heart Farm. There will be educational presentations about the residential uses of solar and comparisions of flat plate collectors to evacuated tube collectors every two hours. Bill Mooney, a NABCEP certified solar thermal installer, master plumber and heating engineer who has installed nearly 200 solar thermal systems, will be the presenter. There will be solar thermal displays and informational packets available. There will be a representative of the Energy, Environment and Sustainability Task Force on hand to explain Energy Raising and how it can help lower the cost of a solar thermal system. The Amazing Heart Farm will provide visitors with yummy Certified Naturally Grown snacks.
