Solar PV - does it come in Pink?

This week I facilitated a public meeting in Sydney where the owner of a local solar pv business (Australia Wide Solar) presented a talk about the options available for solar PV systems.  He gave a great talk and showed a collection of images relating to installing and maintaining solar PV systems.  It was full house, with over 54 people from a wide range of backgrounds coming to listen, comment and ask questions. However, I did notice  that out of the 50+ attendees, there were just nine women, including myself.

In Bangladesh, many women in the local communities are taking ownership and becoming the technical support for their PV panels which are their precious energy  source.  If they can do it in Bangladesh, then we too can take it on. So  ladies, let's follow their example and take an active interest in our solar future, and how we can make a difference.  Check out this video from YouTube..
