Redwood Alliance puts on weekend long workshops on how to implement solar electric power in your household
a little bit at a time. Many people want to
use this great technology but have been afraid of the high costs associated
with unplugging from the grid all at once. For a much more modest cost, we can
start small. Then, when we have extra resources we can add to the system a
little at a time until we can finally call the utility and turn off that nuclear power forever.
We developed a high quality workshop that will teach you how to
accomplish this dream. We've enlisted the help of Solar Energy International,
who has taught thousands of people how to determine energy system needs, design
solar electric systems, and then install them.
Here's what the workshop offers:
An evening of solar electric basics with a slide show and pep
talk for both workshop participants and the public
A full day of instruction on the details of sizing, designing,
and installing systems
A second day of instruction with hands-on solar lab
experience
A third day of hands-on experience with installing a system on
a nearby home
A packet of materials and information that will help you with
your own project
Each day builds upon the previous day's information, except the first
evening's public introduction.
Redwood Alliance can work with you to put on a workshop in your own
community. We will provide the educator, info packets for attendees,
information on how to publicize the event, expert organizational guidance, and
expert guidance in the field of renewable energy.
