>AltE 101: Renewable Energy Basics
Tue, Nov 3
There’s a lot of buzz out there about renewable energy, but it’s hard to decipher where to begin in your own home. Our popular Renewable Energy Basics Workshop gives you an all around understanding of the renewable energy technologies that are available and will help you make sense of which ones are appropriate and best for your situation. Once you have identified the technologies you would like to pursue, a more detailed class can help you investigate further into the technical details of each - although we wish every detail could be covered in a three hour class! Whether you are looking for residential solutions or alternative technology for your small business you’ll get up to date industry technology and the information you need to focus your hard earned dollars in the most cost effective way. You’ll leave class with a great packet of information, a good idea of what technologies to further explore and a renewed sense of enthusiasm for renewable energy! Special discounts on selected books and products are available to our seminar attendees.
We encourage you to bring a copy of your utility bill as we will review household power usage issues during the class.
Topics Include:
- Energy Efficiency
- Solar Thermal - Air and Water Heating
- Solar Electric (PV)
- Wind Electric
- Approximate System costs, Rebates and Tax Credits

Instructors
Amy Beaudet
Amy joined AltE in 2007 and has earned the title "Solar Thermal Queen" in only a short time. When she isn't in the office helping people design solar systems, both water and space heating systems as well as solar electric systems, she can be found sailing or skiing in the NorthEast. Amy has recently installed a couple of solar thermal systems on her house in Massachusetts. The systems she installed were a solar air heating system as well as a 128 sq. ft. flat plate collector solar hot water system used for domestic hot water as well as space heating. Check out some of her projects here.
