A One Day Course

This course aims to demystify and plainly explain solar electricity to those who want to know what goes on beyond the panel.  You will be given practical demos and hands on experience.  You will be shown how to build your own small/medium solar set up for an off-grid cabin, shed, workshop or vehicle.  How to calculate your energy needs and how to size a system. Where to find the parts and how not to pay more than you need to. If you don't have a project in mind it is still a good base for your solar curiosity.

Course Programme:
1 Day 9.30 - 4.30pm

What To Expect:

Find out how to build your own small/medium solar set up for an off-grid cabin, shed, workshop or vehicle.

If you have a little experience already or have no experience at all, be reassured that this course is still for you as no previous technical solar knowledge is required! 

A hands-on, informal day spent with others interested in self-sufficient solar power.

Refreshments will be provided, including a homemade cake.  Please bring a packed lunch.

Parking is available at the entrance to our farm and our training room is just a short walk down our track.

What To Bring:
Just bring yourself and a notebook and pen
