Small Scale Wind Installer’s Workshop

Here’s a great opportunity for anyone in the northeast US who’s interested in picking some skills and experience at installing small scale wind turbine systems. Cape & Islands Self Reliance, a cool non-profit organization that promotes eco-technologies and sustainable practices in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, is hosting a Small Wind Installer’s Apprentice Workshop in the town of Bourne in May.

The six day workshop – to be held Monday, May 15th to Saturday, May 20th, 2006 – will include the installation of an AIRcon S10 turbine on a newly developed, counter balanced, tilt-up mono-pole tower. Participants will be a part of the complete project, from siting to interconnection to the grid. Each day will feature half a day of classroom sessions and the other half conducting hands on activities relating to the actual turbine installation.

The cost for the workshop is $600 and it’ll be taught by Ian Woofenden from Solar Energy International and Home Power Magazine and Tom Wineman of Clean Energy Design. Check out the Cape & Islands Self-Reliance web site (www.reliance.org) for more details.
