Dave Strenski is on a solar installation binge in Ypsilanti this summer.

Excerpt:

An environmentally conscious person might change a couple of habits to do their part for the environment. Recycle, instead of throwing paper in the trash or bike instead of driving.

But how about installing solar panels to a house or better yet, a historic building in the city? Think that�s going a little above and beyond? Tell that to Ypsilanti resident Dave Strenski.

The applications analyst at Cray Inc. makes high performance computers at his day job, and then leaves to install solar panels on historic buildings in Ypsilanti.

So far, Strenski has installed 12 panels on the rooftop at the Ypsilanti Food Cooperative and has two other projects in the works. Strenski says solar panels on the back of City Hall and on the rooftop of the Food Co-op�s River Street Bakery will be completed by the end of the summer.
