It’s also becoming impossible to talk about June in Rochester and not mention the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival beginning June 23. You’ll see WXXI’s News Team on “Jazz Street” covering events and activities throughout the Festival and you can hear reports on AM 1370 and WRUR 88.5 FM. Meanwhile, the Little Theatre will once again serve as an official venue. The Little’s theater 1 will stage two Jazz Festival acts per night, which will include Biel Ballester, The Durham County Poets, and RPO Trumpeter Herb Smith. The Little Café will also be open, serving food and beverages, and hosting free live music performed by local favorites. If you get home from the Festival and want more jazz, tune in to WXXI-TV at midnight for rebroadcasts of classic episodes from our Jazz Festival series.

Best wishes for a wonderful summer! Norm Silverstein [email protected] @normWXXI Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER Steed Energy, LLC designs and installs solar panels for residential and commercial customers throughout Rochester and the Finger Lakes area. Owner Glenn Steed explains what makes his company unique. Q. What inspired you to move into this line of work? I have always felt the need to make a difference in our world and this industry affords me the opportunity to do that every day! Q. What component of the installation process do you enjoy most? Being able to help people get away from fossil fuels and move to a more sustainable and intrinsically valuable energy source, working with high school students to teach them about renewable energy, and meeting new folks and hearing their stories. Q. Is solar for everyone? Recent changes to the utility regulations have opened up the option of solar to so many EVENTS people. We now have some other options for folks who might not have the space for solar but still want to make a difference. There are new programs which allow you to go solar with very little out of pocket expense, and some great loan programs as well. Q. What are some of the concerns when a client is considering solar energy? & The most important thing I do with customers is answer their questions. There are many different brands of solar panels and inverters, and different ways to install them. We do our best to educate the customer to enable them to make the best decision for themselves. We like to think ‘out of the box’ when it comes to solar. Our projects include highly customized installations, from integrated solar on a shipping container building, see-thru solar panels on an awning over a deck, battery based systems, as well as simpler residential and small commercial projects. Q. Considering that the technology for solar panels continues to evolve, what can we expect in the future? As the technology advances we are seeing larger wattage out of smaller panels, greater efficiency and monitoring capabilities in inverters, but by far the fastest growing segment of the market right now is battery technology. www.steedenergy.com NEWS GLENN STEED, OWNER To learn more about underwriting on WXXI, email [email protected] REAL BOY AN INDIE LENS POP-UP FILM MONDAY, JUNE 5 AT 6:30 P.M.
