Description
Learn how to assemble your own Photovoltaic (PV) panel for producing electricity. Richard Komp of Skyheat Associates has pioneered PV panel production as a cottage industry in Nicaragua, Mali, India, and Haiti. In this workshop you’ll get to participate in assembling a PV panel. Depending on the number of participants, we will be making one or more 15 Watt panels, which are capable of charging 12 V batteries and thus are good for small applications.
- What You’ll Learn: How cells and panels are made and how they work. If you don’t know how to solder, we’ll teach you that as well.
- Time: 9 – 3 pm, Lunch included. Contact us if you are vegetarian or have other special dietary needs.
- Cost: $55; optionally, pre-purchase a 15 Watt panel for an additional $80 or purchase a panel during the workshop
