Reduce barriers to solar implementation… #10 - Shortage of trained technical personnel & installers
Large Scale Solar in California CSP Approximately 5,000 megawatts approved 1 megawatt - will power 700 homes capacity for 3,500,000
CSP Concentrated Solar Power
2.25 Gigawatts of PV Projected by 2017 projected in California alone 1,575,000 homes
Near Rio Vista, Ca. PGE 2 megawatt field
Each installation takes trained workers. Large installations in the desert… a driving force!
Instructor Development Workshops • 5 day - Train The Trainer events • Three in the CA starting in January • Free to participants including travel Tentative Locations • Rio Hondo • Modesto or Fresno • Bay area
Jerry Ventre at SMC, January 2009 Instructor Development Workshop
