Solar Thermal Training for Contractors
The Boston Green Jobs Center and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center are co-sponsoring a full-day workshop providing Boston contractors with a general overview of solar thermal technologies. Topics will include introduction to system design, installation and inspection; understanding incentives and policy drivers; and information on building and marketing a solar thermal business.
Christopher Beebe, an expert in solar thermal energy and clean energy deployment will be the instructor for the workshop and will be joined by a panel of speakers from the Clean Energy Center (Mass CEC) Heatspring Learning Institute and other industry experts.
Solar thermal systems can provide up to 50% of the domestic hot (DWH) water for a typical residence and further reduce the homeowners reliance on natural gas and electric hot water heaters.
Greentech coordinates closely with the BRA’s workforce training development team to ensure that the City’s workforce training strategy is aligned with our cleantech economic development goals and priorities.
The workshop will be held on April 1st at Economy Plumbing (875 Morton Street, Boston, MA 02126. The $40. workshop fee includes a networking lunch.
