Iowa Renewable Energy Assn Training Workshops this spring, summer & fall 2010
Mike Carberry
Beginning May 8th, 2010, I-Renew (Iowa Renewable Energy Assn) will proudly kick off our much anticipated Renewable Energy Training Series held in conjunction with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association. These workshops will include introductory classes and site assessor training in Solar Photovoltaics (PV), Solar Hot Water (Solar Thermal), and Small Wind Systems. Classes will be held every month through October at Indian Creek Nature Center in Cedar Rapids, IA. They offer a convenient local venue to attend MREA’s gold standard training classes and are a fantastic way to gain knowledge and experience within the growing renewable energy field.
Participants in the introductory workshops will learn how basic systems work, diagram the system types, describe and identify components, understand the best application and limitations of each system type, make energy efficiency recommendations, estimate system loads, and understand the basics of renewable energy site assessment.
Introductory courses are followed by the Site Assessor Training class where participants will learn how to perform a site assessment for a home or business. Certified Site Assessors are renewable energy consultants who conduct site visits, complete load analysis, recommend site-specific renewable energy systems, and give clients a general cost analysis for renewable energy systems complete with return on investment data.
As the market grows for renewable energy, certification in these areas will distinguish professionals opening up many more opportunities with renewable energy consulting. This is a great opportunity to get in to the industry at the ground level. Contact I-Renew at 319-338-1076 and visit http://irenew.org for pricing and scheduling details today!
