Learn to design and install photovoltaic systems for the developing world. Workshop participants learn system sizing, site analysis, hardware specification, and component selection. The workshop covers typical applications and case study examples. Install and upgrade real-world systems with current renewable energy equipment. This workshop is open to all who want to use PV and for those seeking employment in the solar industry.
Held at Rancho Mastatal, an environmental learning center and retreat located in the last virgin rainforest of Costa Rica's Puriscal County. Participants will stay at the center where they build using natural building techniques, including bamboo and cob, and support the use of renewable energy systems. Rancho Mastatal practices and promotes living responsibly in the tropics, while educating its visitors about the significance and majesty of the world's disappearing tropical forests. Take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy one of Costa Rica's most undiscovered regions while learning about renewable energy.In our sixth year at Rancho Mastatal, this winter's workshop builds on the success of our past workshops. Our program is focused on learning through hands-on work. We'll spend about one-third of our time in the classroom, studying renewable energy technology basics. The rest of our time will be in the field or lab, getting our hands dirty, learning by doing. The course is taught in both English and Spanish. Price includes dorm bed or camping, all meals and in-coutry transportation. Private accommodation may be available at additional cost (contact Rancho Mastatal). Ask about options for family members not taking the workshop.
Participants must by ready to meet outside the San Jose, Costa Rica airport by 3:00 p.m. at the latest on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2011, and will be returned to the same airport by 11 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2011. Please plan your flights accordingly, with leeway for the vagaries of travel. Those not at the meeting place at the appointed time on Jan.�1 will need to make their own arrangements to get to the ranch. Enrollment is very limited, so please register early.
