With the door\u2019s open to the public daily, we welcome everyone who is interested in exploring solar or comes in asking questions about solar energy. \u00a0We recognize solar energy facts in our educational showroom. This is a great place to start understanding how solar works and how we can channel the power of the sun in our daily lives. But, we are also acutely aware that even in our expansive showroom, we have our limitations. \u00a0And that is why we decided to reach out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Brentwood\u2019s Agricultural Roots<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brentwood and the East Contra Costa County Delta region has historically been classified as a Farm and Agricultural community. \u00a0Looking into our history, farms, ranches and orchards are what covered the land. This type of agricultural community is what our current community is built on. \u00a0Even today, local farm stands with freshly picked strawberries, cherries and corn adorn street corners and bring masses of people to town annually. Farming is in our roots. \u00a0Yet, as years passed, much of the agricultural land was sold to developers to make room for new families moving into town. Yet many families are working hard to preserve the land, the farms, and the agricultural community. \u00a0And they are doing it through education.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>First Generation Farmers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/delsolenergy.info\/firstgenerationfarmers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Generation Farmers<\/a> is a local farm that focuses on recruiting, training, inspiring and mentoring the next generation of farmers. \u00a0Their story is powerful, and they are making a big impact in the community at large. For more information on their programming, check out their website at <a href=\"http:\/\/delsolenergy.info\/firstgenerationfarmers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firstgenerationfarmers.org<\/a>. \u00a0We were honored when they were willing to work with us to teach kids about solar in a way that was a bit more tangible than the big, bulky solar panels we install on rooftops. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-350 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-1024x620.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-768x465.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-350\" src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-1024x620.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-768x465.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/h4>\n<h3>Cooking with Sun Power<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We packed up our cars and many of our kids and we headed out to <a href=\"http:\/\/delsolenergy.info\/firstgenerationfarmers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Generation Farmers<\/a> to learn about cooking with solar power. Although many of us have worked within the solar industry for years, not one of us knew anything about cooking with solar power or where to even start. \u00a0Luckily, the educators at the farm knew exactly what to do and put our kids to work. The kids aged from 2 years old through about 10 years old. The process was definitely a bit easier for the 10-year-old than it was for the little kids, but every single kid was entranced with using a weird box that was powered by the sun to cook with. \u00a0Even as adults, we were a bit skeptical. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-362 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Pizza Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven.png 1912w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-362\" src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Pizza Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Pizza-Oven.png 1912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/h4>\n<h3>Building a Solar Oven<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It took about an hour, but the Del Sol Energy kid\u2019s were able to effectively build two solar ovens using an old pizza box, duct tape, tin foil and some glue. Not only were they able to complete this process with just a bit of assistance from their educator, all their ovens worked! Perhaps even more exciting was all of the kids enjoyed the kale chips their solar ovens cooked out in the powerful afternoon sun. \u00a0At the bottom of the post, you can see full instructions on what we did to build our ovens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Lessons Learned<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The science of solar energy is often seen as a bit elusive, we see panels and we know they work, but we aren\u2019t quite sure how. \u00a0And frequently, when we think solar, we jump to the commercial side of panels and solar companies. But, solar is much more than the Sunruns, Solar City, and Solar World. \u00a0Solar power is truly sun power making a difference in how we manage daily tasks. Cooking, and eating are something we are all familiar with. And when we can use household materials to do something that is used to doing every day, science becomes a bit more tangible and relevant. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, teaching kids about solar and renewable energy is vitally important. And we all know we think through our stomachs \u2013 so, introducing renewable energy through food is a fun and easy way to promote using our natural resources to complete the tasks we do daily. Even more importantly, it is fun! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making a solar oven is something everyone can do at home with their kids. And maybe you don\u2019t make kale chips \u2013 maybe it is toast, a pizza or maybe even an egg! The food options are numerous, but the lesson remains the same. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Green Energy \u2013 Renewable Energy -Community Partnerships<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our visit to First Generation Farmers was truly fun. \u00a0It was family, kids, friends, food and lots of laughter sprinkled with a lot of learning. \u00a0It was time we spent together learning more about our industry through the eyes of our kids and our community partnerships. \u00a0Although it was our first visit to the farm, we can promise, it most definitely won\u2019t be the last. And as the sun kicks into high gear as we head into the summer season, we are all ready to build our home solar overs and cook with sun power this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Building a Solar Oven<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-348 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2.png 1443w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-348\" src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Del Sol Energy Solar Oven\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Del-Sol-Energy-Solar-Oven-2.png 1443w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Materials: <\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pizza box<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pencil and flat edge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box cutters\/ craft knife<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aluminum\u00a0foil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scissors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black construction paper<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tape<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-2 clear sheet protectors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stick, ruler or dowel to hold the box lid open<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Step 1:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Draw a square on top of the pizza box that\u2019s about 1-2\u2033 smaller than the box itself. Use the box cutters to cut along the line, on the right, left and bottom of the box, creating a flap that open upward.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Step 2:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Cover the underside of the flap and the inside of the box with foil, shiny side out. Try and keep it as smooth as possible! Glue it down so it doesn\u2019t fall off.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Step 3<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Inlay the box with the black construction paper, gluing it to the bottom so it stays put.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Step 4:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tape the clear sheet protectors to the lid of the box to seal the opening created by the flap. The seal should be as airtight as possible! \u00a0Don\u2019t forget to add the tasty treats into the oven before it is taped up!<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Step 5:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Place your oven outdoors in direct sunlight on a hot day. <\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Step 6:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Close the lid of the box and prop the flap open with a stick. Leave your snacks to \u201ccook\u201d for about 30 to 90 minutes. Depending on how airtight your oven is, you could see temperatures around 200 degrees! As for us, I think ours was rather drafty and the sun going down wasn\u2019t helping.
