The front lounge comfortably fits 25-35 people, and the conference room fits 10-14; both are equipped with large display televisions with computer display hookups. The best part? The center is 100% powered by SunPower solar panels and visitors can charge their electric vehicles during the meeting with one of our 4 EV charging stations.<\/p>\n<p>Our design center welcomes all philanthropic, community focused, not for profit organizations to use the space as a hub for whatever effort, big or small.<\/p>\n<p>Some recent organizations that have used our Solar Design Center as a meeting space include; Long Beach Bring Your Own Bag committee and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRt8y-NAkCn\/?taken-by=empowersolar\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Surfriders of Long Island Central Chapter<\/a>\u00a0and a local Girl Scout Troop.<\/p>\n<h3>Want to know if you qualify for a Long Island or New York City solar program?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about the programs for which you may qualify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOST YOUR LOCAL MEETINGS FOR FREE IN ISLAND PARK!
