Brian demonstrated his vast knowledge in this field by clearly explaining how each product worked and what application it would be best suited for. As well, he had answers to all of our questions. We all came away with a much better understanding of this often confusing, though positive, part of our future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondsourcepower.com\" target=\"_blank\">Second Source Power<\/a>  has alternative energy options available for commercial businesses, farmers and homeowners. They are a locally based company and they manufacture the world\u2019s leading and most reliable 50kW wind turbine, the AOC 15\/50, right here in Nova Scotia. Their products include solar and wind options, greywater recycling, geothermal, backup power and a whole lot more. As Brian said, &#8220;If you have a need, we have the solution!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some photos of their display area:<\/p>\n<p>This photo shows their SkyStream 3.7 which is used for residential and small business applications:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_02.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>A large display of photovoltaic solar panels:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_03.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>A couple of smaller wind turbines:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_04.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>The larger BWC EXCEL which is a 6.7 meter (22 ft) diameter, 10,000W wind turbine:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_05.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>The even larger the AOC 15\/50:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_06.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>An solar evacuated tube collector:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_07.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>They also carry a variety of small related products such as inverters, energy consumption monitors, etc.:<\/p>\n<div id=\"photopost\"><img src='http:\/\/ravenview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03_11_09_alternative_power_for_your_workshop-_08.jpg' alt='Alternative Power For Your Workshop' \/><\/div>\n<p>This certainly made for a informative evening on a very timely subject. Since each application  is different, depending the size of the area, how many people living there, your location, etc., pricing has to be done on a case by case basis. If you are thinking about incorporating alternative energy systems into your shop or home drop by Second Source Power and talk to Brian. Our experience tonight has shown that he would be more than happy to help you.<\/p>\n<p>Btw &#8211; Second Source Power will be changing their name to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamanna.com\" target=\"_blank\">MaManna Renewable Energy<\/a> in the near future. <\/p>\n<p>Back to the shop&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlantic Woodworkers Association meeting last night took a bit of a twist.
