Please forward to friends, family and colleagues.<br><br>Beginning
May 8th, 2010,<sup> </sup>I-Renew (Iowa Renewable Energy Assn) will proudly kick off our much anticipated
Renewable Energy Training Series held in conjunction with the Midwest Renewable
Energy Association. These workshops will include introductory classes and site
assessor training in Solar Photovoltaics (PV), Solar Hot Water (Solar Thermal),
and Small Wind Systems. Classes will be held every month through October at
Indian Creek Nature Center in Cedar Rapids, IA. They offer a convenient local
venue to attend MREA’s gold standard training classes and are a fantastic way
to gain knowledge and experience within the growing renewable energy field. 

<div class="gmail_quote"><p class="MsoNormal">Participants in the introductory workshops will learn how basic
systems work, diagram the system types, describe and identify components,
understand the best application and limitations of each system type, make
energy efficiency recommendations, estimate system loads, and understand the
basics of renewable energy site assessment. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Introductory courses are followed by the Site Assessor Training
class where participants will learn how to perform a site assessment for a home
or business. Certified Site Assessors are renewable energy consultants who
conduct site visits, complete load analysis, recommend site-specific renewable
energy systems, and give clients a general cost analysis for renewable energy
systems complete with return on investment data.<span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> As the market grows for renewable energy, certification in
these areas will distinguish professionals opening up many more opportunities
with renewable energy consulting.<span>  </span>This
is a great opportunity to get in to the industry at the ground level.<span>  </span>Contact I-Renew at 319-338-1076 and visit <a href="http://irenew.org/" target="_blank">http://irenew.org</a> for pricing and scheduling
