Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
The FL Solar Energy Research and Education Foundation will conduct a multi-media promotional campaign to encourage the use of solar water heating in residences, particularily at the time of construction. This campaign will focus on the economic benefits of solar water heating and will include newspaper, radio and television advertising as well as direct mailings to builders throughout the state. The Foundation will prepare consumer literature which features the benefits of solar energy. The Foundation will provide cooperative advertising opportunities for builders and solar businesses promoting model home and parade of home solar system installations. Further, they will measure the success of this program by tracking the current level of solar system installations in new construction before the campaign is conducted and compare it with the level of sales after the campaign. Mail and telephone surveys will be conducted with participating builders and solar companies to determine the effectiveness of the program and solicit recommendations on program modification. |
