Solar-powered movies debut at seaside lagoon

Excerpt from Easy Reader:
Tom Kearney and Scott Williams, the duo behind Seaside Ice, launch AES Seaside Cinema this Friday with a showing of Back to the Future. They believe Seaside Cinema will be the very first solar-powered outdoor movie event ever held.
The idea, Kearney said, is to show in the most fun way possible that solar power isn’t some far-fetched futuristic form of energy – rather, it is something that everybody can do right now.
“I think this is a great place to start,” Kearney said. “It’s really about creating awareness and having kids and families see it in a practical practice. I mean, how cool is it to go to a movie that is supplied by the sun? At night?”
The primary sponsor of the event is AES Redondo Beach. The “green hardware” – three 180 watt solar panels and an energy-collecting battery – is being provided by ABC Solar Inc., a Hermosa Beach-based company whose aim is to help households “get off the grid.”
Bradley Bartz, founder and president of ABC Solar, said he hopes Seaside Cinema demonstrates that utilizing alternative energy sources doesn’t mean sacrificing fun.
“You can take your home off the grid. You can make all your own energy and keep your lifestyle,” said Bartz, who also noted that every home in the South Bay is capable of housing solar panels that provide enough energy for self-sufficiency and even power two or three neighbors’ homes.
