The purpose of this site is to provide practical information on solar energy and energy efficiency. Whether you're designing or building a new home or need more information on solar water heating or heating a swimming pool we hope you find this information helpful. Our monthly meetings are typically held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00pm in the UTEP campus room 205 of the classroom building, next to the engineering building. If you have questions, please call Jason at (915) 772-SOLR(7657)

UPCOMING EVENTS Mar 5th - March’s meeting will feature a roundtable discussion regarding Generation 2000, the “largest kids’ fair in the Southwest.” EPSEA will have a table there and we are soliciting creative, interactive ideas that will stimulate kid’s interest in solar. Please bring your best ideas and your thinking caps and we can discuss that and any other items of interest. We will meet at 7 PM in Classroom Building Rm. 205 as usual. See you there!

The Daily Show had a couple interesting speakers. First was Thomas Friedman on Nov. 11th on his book "Hot, Flat, and Crowded". Then on the following night, T. Boone Pickens talked about his book and his plan for using renewable energy to get America self-sufficient.   The El Paso Solar Energy Association (EPSEA) was founded in 1978 and is the oldest, continuously active, local solar organization in the United States.
