Nationally Recognized Solar Training Comes to South Carolina
Greener Product in association with Midwest Renewable Energy (MREA) has opened a solar training facility in Charleston, SC. Please see the attached news release for details. People looking to be training for the coming “green jobs” or others interested in expanding their knowledge in this growing field are welcomed to register.
With the recent announcement that “80% of the energy by 2035 will come from clear/renewable energy” and the new wind research facility in North Charleston, we believe that renewable energy training will be of considerable interest to the people of South Carolina.
We are very fortunate to have Mr. Clay Sterling, Education Director, MREA and one of America’s leading solar educators, lead the sessions. Clay is the only ISPQ-certified instructor in the country to hold certifications in both small wind and photovoltaic. Recently the IREC Institute for Sustainable Power Quality (ISPQ) recognized Clay’s accomplishment and commitment to excellence in renewable energy training by awarding him their prestigious Affiliated Instructor Certification in both small wind and photovoltaic technologies.
MREA, a non-profit established in 1990, is one of the Nation’s oldest and largest providers of solar, solar thermal and wind programs. Through their 38 NABCEP certified instructors they train over 2000 people a year.
The initial program will be presented March 7th and 8th in Charleston and lead to a Certified Solar Assessor accreditation. Click here to learn more and register for the program.

Gentlemen - Grab Your Caulking Guns
A featured article in today's State newspaper business section, “Plan encourages home upgrades” says that the Electrical Cooperatives of South Carolina want to tie the cost of retrofitting homes to monthly utility bills. If approved, the Co-ops expect to retrofit 225,000 homes over the next 10 years at a cost of $750 million. This represents about 1 in 10 of all the homes in South Carolina.
The proposed Legislative Bill provides a huge opportunity to put a lot of people back to work, and help transform the "leaky sieve" of our older housing stock into energy efficient homes.
