Both The Civil Life and Urban Chestnut breweries have recently installed solar panels to help them reduce their carbon footprints. The St. Louis company that designed those systems will lead a free information session from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Urban Chestnut (3229 Washington Boulevard).
Overland-based StraightUp Solar built a 42-panel, 9.6-kilowatt system for Urban Chestnut and a 104-panel, 25-kw setup for The Civil Life.
