What's the Latest in Homeowner Solar Installations

Tara Bono, marketing manager at EmPower Solar, a leading New York solar design, engineering, and installation company, will give a presentation about the latest in homeowner solar installations. This event is sponsored by the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences.

Tara earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at Stony Brook University and her Master of Public Administration at Baruch College, both with a focus on environmental studies. She is also an alumna of "Semester at Sea," where she completed part of her degree while traveling at sea through several different global ports.

In 2011, she was one of four U.S. Climate Change Professional Fellows for the Australia cohort and worked with Australian researchers, industries, and advocates dealing with energy and climate issues. 

She is also on the board of the Long Island Solar Energy Industry Association, where she is the government liaison for policy issues related to solar and energy storage. Prior to joining the EmPower Solar team, Tara was the Long Island Program Coordinator for Citizens Campaign for the Environment.
