Solar Energy International Increase Training Reach

Outreach programs, free online renewable energy part of SEI's mission


Twelve thousand people have now received
advanced technical training, a foundation for a future career in renewable
energy or their first exposure to the most basic ideas of energy efficiency and
renewables, from Solar Energy International (SEI) in 2011. Solar Energy
International aims to reach that pinnacle again in 2012.

Solar Energy International is
training trainers. Solar Energy International is training current and future
technicians. Solar Energy International is also training kids in all grade
levels to understand where electricity comes from - and that energy from the
sun is limitless. Solar Energy International is training people in remote
villages and communities in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America to
harness the energy of the sun, wind and water around them so that their
children can read their school books after the sun goes down. Solar Energy
International is training American women with technical or medical backgrounds
to work as Solar Suitcase Ambassadors around the world. These Ambassadors will
deliver the small plug-and-play solar electric systems to maternal health
workers in rural communities, who will in turn use them for basic obstetric
care, significantly reducing the 350,000 deaths of women and millions of
newborn babies each year.

Solar Energy International is working
with Native Americans to spread the word about renewable energy, perform
maintenance projects on the Dann Ranch, Rocky Ridge School (on the Navajo
reservation), White Earth reservation and also to create a solar power trailer
for White Earth and Honor the Earth gatherings. Solar Energy International's
free online Introduction to Renewable Energy course, in both Spanish and
English, is moderated by SEI staff to answer student questions on-demand. Solar
Energy International provides a lending library of books, tools and equipment
available to teachers that want to bring renewable energy into the classroom
but do not have those resources available otherwise.
