Join Rebekah Hren in building a small scale solar electric system for an off-the-grid office!
Interested in solar electricity? Start learning with this intensive two day class covering off-grid solar electric basics. Hands-on: students will help install a code-compliant 500 watt PV system on a small office cabin.
Topics include an introduction to site analysis, batteries, charge controllers, metering, PV modules, and safety.
Rebekah has lived off-grid for a majority of the past decade, and will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of off-grid PV systems. Off-grid systems are relied on around the world for water pumping, lighting systems, and remote location applications.
