As we take strides towards sustainability, the Chisasibi community is excited to host the upcoming Solar Energy Training workshop on March 11th and 12th. This event marks a significant advancement in adopting renewable energy sources, particularly beneficial for remote camps where traditional power sources can be unreliable and expensive to setup.
The workshop's agenda is designed to offer comprehensive knowledge on small solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of solar energy's potential on the first day. The second day will jump into the technical aspects, including component selection and system assembly, providing the hands-on experience required for successful solar PV installations in remote settings.
Workshop Agenda: Small Solar PV Systems
Day 1 location: Miichiiwaap Auditorium - Understanding Solar Energy Potential
Introduction to solar energy and its benefits
Overview of small solar PV system components
Guidelines for evaluating energy needs
