Time may be right for solar By TRACEY L. REGAN
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has embraced the job-intensive solar industry with gusto.
The IBEW's Local 269 recently built massive solar walls outside its offices on Whitehead Road in Lawrence, in part for the power but also as an advertisement.
'It really works well,' said Charles Marciante, Local 269's business manager, of the union's new panels, which he said 'tilt and angle' to absorb the maximum amount of sunlight as the seasons change. 'It's expensive, but it works.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:29 AM :: reference link ::
