FYI- Info on Free Solar Workshop - Saturday, June 13, 10 AM at IjamsNature Center
A email invitation I received but will be unable to attend. Maybe you have some free time.
Solar PV Technology - An In-Depth Look. A free Workshop at 10 AM to 12:30 PM on Saturday, June 13th at Ijams Nature Center. This workshop is provided free through the City of Knoxville Solar America Cities program, and will give an in-depth understanding of Photovoltaic (PV) technology. Speakers from the City of Knoxville, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Tennessee Valley Authority will cover such topics as the legal requirements for a solar energy system in Knoxville, Market Trends in the PV industry, Building Integrated Solar, new innovations such as micro inverters, potential maximum efficiencies and Concentrated Solar PV. The workshop will also provide an update on TVA's new version of the Generation Partners program and have a small group "tabling" break out providing a chance to talk more in-depth with solar experts.
