We had a blast! Thanks to everyone who came along to the Big Solar Gathering 2022 in Shrewsbury. Here is some of what we got up to 🌞
It’s always good to get together in person, give progress updates, share learning and get group input on the way forward for the Big Solar co-op.
Watch the video for an overview of the day and scroll down for a deeper dive into the slides from the morning presentations, and write ups from the afternoon workshops.
See you next year!
