Thanks for your interest in Living Energy Farm’s 2024 DC Solar Immersion/Training!
This program will take place on July 26, 27, 28 and 29, 2024. (If you are coming from a distance, please plan to arrive on the 25th.) The first two days of the program will be dedicated to lecture and workshops, and will happen at Living Energy Farm. The second two days will be on-site training at a DC Microgrid installation site, Little Flower Catholic Worker, which is 8 miles from LEF. We can provide transportation to and from the installation site.
This program is being offered free of charge, but spaces are limited, and priority will be given to applicants who have an actual project (not just theoretical) that will be applying DC Microgrid technology. Meals and accommodations are provided as part of the training, although some participants will be asked to camp.
While no electrical experience is required to attend this training, we are not going to spend a lot of time on “electricity 101,” we will ask that participants come to the training with some basic knowledge of electrical terms and concepts (AC vs DC, volts, amps, series vs parallel, etc). For electrical newbies, we will send out some recommended reading and videos to watch before the training.
