Our Mission
  The Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Association (MAREA) is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to informing and educating the public on renewable energy production, energy efficiency, and sustainable living through meetings, workshops, educational materials, and energy fairs.
Your membership makes these activities possible. If you can help, please [Join MAREA]. The support is greatly appreciated and your dollars are used carefully. (And, members get into the Festival free!)
PA Clean Energy and Green Jobs - -
It's Now or Never!

A new bill in the state house increases the use of renewable energy in PA, creates good local jobs, benefits the environment, improves REC markets (including solar hot water!) and reduces electricity prices. It’s good for consumers and businesses across the state but faces well funded opposition. Your support now can make a difference. Please [READ MORE], about the PA Clean Energy and Green Jobs Bill.

Community Projects & Workshops
MAREA conducts small group workshops on practical alternative energy projects throughout the year. Learn from experts in the field. MAREA members receive special discount on workshops.

Photovoltaic System Installation
MAREA held its fourth hands-on solar electric installation workshop, this time installing a 9.9 solar Kw at a local residence.
These workshops give participants the unusual opportunity to learn about solar by doing it, in an actual installation. For many of us, this is the best way to learn and it’s certainly a fun way to spend a week!

Endicter, who has a master's degree in Electrical and Semiconductor Engineering from the University of Houston, has developed high efficiency solar cells for satellite and concentrating applications and has worked as a researcher with GE Solar developing silicon cells and modules at its former photovoltaic production facility in Newark, Delaware. He will outline some of the technical obstacles to improving solar cell efficiency and highlight research efforts to surpass the efficiencies of silcon-based cells.
