>I would like to invite our entire class to tour our photovoltaic
>manufacturing facility in Billerica, MA - Come visit the 5th largest
>Photovoltaic manufacturer in the world!  This year we have manufactured
>just over 8 Megawatts and are in the process of ramping up production to 20
>Megawatts in the next few years.  See our latest Research and development
>efforts focusing on both building integrated photovoltaics, increasing
>module efficiency and bringing down the costs.

>Our facility in Billerica was once owned my Arco Oil, Mobil Oil and Tesseg
>(a large German Utility) and it was the first full production photovoltaic
>facility in the US.  If you are interested in joining the tour, but are
>unable to make the date; I have a 7 minute plant tour video on CD for
>anyone that is interested.  I am more than happy to mail out a few copies -
>
>If there is interest, after the tour, we can also tour the 12 kW
>photovoltaic array that we have on our roof at the plant and talk about the
>ways that it contributes to offsetting our on-site electrical demand.  We
>can easily accommodate 20-30 so space is not a limitation (we might break
>up for the tour) - you can RSVP directly to me at
>jamie.braman at rweschottsolar.us and directions will follow.  I should also
>mention that you will be asked to sign a short nondisclosure form prior to
>the tour; if this poses a problem, please let me know-
