We had a big fat meeting with a solar-panel guy who came over from Montpellier to fill us in about the possibilities and the costs. Because we knew that Howard and Yuka were also thinking about this subject we found ourselves at 9.30h with six people in our kitchen for a group learning session. Stephane (the solar guy) proved to be lucid and capable, even with these foreigners around. Wayne translated the bits we missed out on, which was reassuring. However, it was a bit unlrelaxing with the outside sounds trickling through to our kitchen-turned-office.
