*/ /Solar Electricity Classes**

OCT 28-30: Photovoltaic Design Class/ - Santa Fe, NM 
/**OCT 28-30 & NOV 5-6: **Photovoltaic Design & Installation Class **/ - 
Santa Fe, NM/*
*
* Looking for /intensive, local, low-cost education in solar electricity 
in a 1- or 2-weekend format/?  Take advantage of New Mexico Solar Energy 
Association's photovoltaic classes!  They are opportunities:

*    For electrician, inspector or employee education.
*    For preparation for school or a career change.
*    For homeowners to decide between self-installation and hiring a 
solar contractor, or to more easily communicate with potential contractors.

In collaboration with Santa Fe Girls School, New Mexico Solar Energy 
Association (NMSEA) has scheduled its next */Photovoltaic Design/* and 
*/PV Design and Installation/* classes to start in two weeks.  The 
classes will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico at Santa Fe Girls School.  
The /*Photovoltaic Design*/ class will be held October 28-30 (3 days, 
Fri-Sat-Sun; $500).  /*Photovoltaic Design and Installation*/ students 
will take the Design portion and continue through the weekend of 
November 5-6 (5 days, Fri-Sat-Sun-Sat-Sun; $725) to install a 2kW solar 
electric system at the school. 

*    A grant through McCune Charitable Foundation provides tuition for 
four electrical inspectors for either photovoltaic class on a 
first-come, first-served basis. 
*   Certified electricians who complete either class may receive 
continuing education units through NM's Construction Industries Division 
(CID). 
*   NMSEA Members receive a discount on the class.
