Introduction:

Does it focus on the techniques and strategies of generating, producing, and storing energy that are considered "green, clean," renewable, or sustainable? Using alternative energy involves a comprehensive understanding of policies and issues in addition to a balanced understanding of the technical and financial reality. Participants in the course gain insight into the application of renewable energy solutions and leave with practical elements and tools they can immediately apply to help companies or organizations define renewable energy project goals and maximize benefits when implementing renewable energy systems.
