Here at Black Rock Solar we’re gearing up for our second annual SolarStice fundraiser at Great Basin Brewing Co. in Sparks, Nevada from 4-8 pm on Saturday June 26th. We’re raising money for the Lyon County Fire Department to put a 30 kW solar array on their station in Fernley. Budget cuts and the economy have really taken their toll on the department, and this array will save firefighters more than $6,500 every year over the life of the system, which is at least 25 years!

We hope you can come out and support us at the fundraiser. Get ready for heaps of fun music by Mojo Green and:
