Salt Lake Community College’s Green Academy will hold an event celebrating the completion of Utah’s only Solar Photovoltaic (PV) training yard on September 6, at the College’s Meadowbrook Campus, 250 West 3900 South in Salt Lake City. The press and media are invited to tour the lab that morning from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
“The completion of the photovoltaic training yard is an exciting addition to sustainable green energy practice and workforce development in Utah. It’s been great to be a part of this project—it demonstrates the College’s commitment to help prepare Utah’s workforce for renewable energy technologies and conservation,” said SLCC Dean of the School of Professional and Economic Development Karen Gunn. “The new training yard is the first of its kind in the state and will facilitate Utah’s capacity to meet industry demands for highly skilled green energy technicians.”
The launch will highlight the Solar PV training yard and classroom space, and will feature student and faculty-led abbreviated labs and solar panel demonstrations.
Deborah Buterbaugh, Energy Project Specialist from the U.S. Department of Energy will be attending the launch. Buterbaugh is the representative for two previously awarded grants that the College has received for a total of $2.1 million. Salt Lake Community College was selected as one of only a dozen sites nationally to visit, to see how the College has developed innovative green energy training programs.
The PV training yard is a resource for industry professionals and prospective technicians looking to accelerate their knowledge and skills through hands-on training and curriculum provided by North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP)certified instructors.
