BRIDGEWATER — Craig Cadieux has two-30 year old flat plate solar panels that have reached the end of their ''original life' and started to leak. He is going to rebuild them this Saturday starting at 9 a.m.

They were removing the guts of the collectors and using standard copper piping and metal roofing materials rebuild them. The panels are ground mounted so there is noriginally taken off of someone’s house who had them installed in the mid- 70’s.  Cadieux, with  the help of others in the Plymouth Area Energy Initiative, will be o roof climbing.

This is a hands-on, start from almost scratch project - not a replacement kit. Cadieux will be using raw materials that will be fabricated to make this work.

This event is open to PAREI members (and guests) who want to help or come over and observe for all or part of the day. Fresh brick oven pizza will be served at lunch. RSVP encouraged but not required (helps a little with food and task planning).
