The California Center for Sustainable Energy ( CCSE) is partnering with National Solar Trainers to provide a highly discounted and in-depth solar water heating training program to fully prepare attendees to enter into this rapidly growing market. You'll discover the skills needed to launch a solar water heating career as an installer, designer, sales and marketing professional or entrepreneur.

This training typically costs $1,000-$2,000, but CCSE is providing it at a discount in support of developing the San Diego solar marketplace through the California Solar Initiative Thermal Program.

The workshop will cover all aspects of solar water heating from fundamentals to business practices to hands-on installation. The first two days of the workshop will cover solar water heating technology fundamentals, sales, marketing and business development.  The final three days will cover advanced system design and provide a comprehensive hands-on solar water heating installation laboratory.  Participants can choose to attend only the first two days of the course to enhance their business skills, or attend all five days to develop their all-around experience in solar water heating.

The workshop will take place January 28 - February 1, 2013 at SDG&E's Energy Innovation Center, 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, CA 92117.

  • The two-day option (January 28-29) costs $50 including a course workbook and lunch for both days (register here).
  • The five-day workshop (January 28- February 1) will cost $125 including a course workbook and lunch for all five days (register here).

Notable & Quotable

"The scientists are virtually screaming from the rooftops now. The debate is over! There's no longer any debate in the scientific community about this. But the political systems around the world have held this at arm's length because it's an inconvenient truth, because they don't want to accept that it's a moral imperative."

- Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth
