  • Ralph Baskin Photographer/WPKN staffer The experience of going solar on your house
    My guest on DITD today is Ralph Baskin. Ralph is a Retired IT cost consultant turned photographer who moved to CT from NY over 40 years ago where he lives in, and has improved, a small 1890's Victorian farmhouse.
    Ralph and I have found common ground with our views on the environment and have had many conversations about solar which I have dabbled with and Ralph has had a lot of experience, having adding a solar system to his own home. Besides my intention to always feature local guests and listeners of WPKN, I thought we all could learn more about going solar by hearing about Ralph's experiences.
