What will I learn?
Pick up hands-on skills to check out a community center project from looking at resources all the way to figuring system size, setup, and how it performs. Learn to guess power needs, make sense of sunlight data, see if the roof works, and figure out energy output with straight-up, written-down reasons. Put together a short, pro technical report that breaks down costs, savings, pollution cut, and toughness in words that leaders can bank on.
