Remote Energy mentors aspiring Solar PV (Photovoltaic) technicians and motivated instructors in remote and underrepresented communities worldwide. No matter your experience or background, we can offer the tools and skills needed to get you started on your Solar PV training journey.
Why Remote Energy?
STUDENT-FOCUSED PROGRAMMING
RE’s solar training programs focus on energy access and the development of job-site skills. Classes are adaptable to meet the regional and cultural needs of learners. The PV training program starts with the smallest (affordable) off-grid systems and incrementally builds in size and complexity.
Our online classes are flexible and allow students to complete coursework on their own schedule. Online classes also have live sessions with experienced instructors to answer all your questions!
Diversity and inclusion
At Remote Energy, we believe in empowering underrepresented communities through education. Everyone should have access to high quality solar training.
We are committed to training and mentoring marginalized women and men globally to become solar technicians and educators so they, in turn, can bring solar energy education into their own communities. Our custom training programs are designed to be appropriate to the culture, language, and education levels of our students.
Experience
Our multilingual team brings over 100+ years of combined experience in solar electric system design, installation, curriculum development and instruction to the classroom. We have transferred technical and teaching skills to men and women in over 51 countries, 14 Native American Nations, and 5 regions of the world: Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and North America.
