In June, interested homeowners, businesses, and contractors will have a rare opportunity to learn first hand how to properly site, specify, permit, and install a residential scale wind energy system by participating in week long workshop organized by Cape & Islands Self-Reliance. The workshop is part of a broader workforce development effort of the Cape and Islands Renewable Energy Collaborative among whose participants are: Cape Cod Community College, Cape Cod Economic Development Council, Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Clean Energy Design, and the Cape’s two regional technical high schools.
WHERE AND WHEN?
This six-day apprentice-level workshop will take place from Monday, June 18 through Saturday, June 23, 2007 in Harwich, Massachusetts. The workshop classes will take place at the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, and the hands-on installation will be at a near-by residence.
The installation will feature a grid-connected 2.5 kW Tulipoâ„¢ turbine that will be mounted on a counter-balanced, tilt-up, mono-pole tower.
