Junior Solar Sprint:

The 2009 JSS event was held Saturday 16 May, 2009, thanks to the good timing of the event which coincided with a break in rainy, overcast weather (just as in 2008!). The race held in full sun for most of the time and we had a great turnout and creative participation.

BASEA sincerely thanks all participating students, teachers, schools, parents and helpful volunteers who, working together, made for a really good experience.

We will post on these pages race results as they are compiled.

BASEA's Mission

The Boston Area Solar Energy Association is convinced that New England's primary dependence on non-renewable energy sources is costly to our environmental, social, economic and political systems.

Therefore, we foster the design and use of solar and sustainable energy technologies through education, advocacy and the demonstration of practical, cost effective techniques.

It is our goal to promote Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future.

Please remember that your donations and membership support BASEA.
