A solar energy course with Richard Komp, based in the Cévennes National Park in the south of France

17th - 23rd May 2007

English

We are very fortunate to be able to welcome Dr. Richard Komp, an expert in solar energy since the 1950's, in leading this in-depth course on all aspects of practical home-use solar energy. The course will be of a hands-on nature, with a group project every day, and lectures and discussions drawing on Richard's extensive knowledge of solar energy systems. This is an excellent opportunity to come and learn the skills to implement solar projects for use in your home.

This course covers both passive solar techniques and photovoltaics. Every course participant will receive copies of two of Richard's books: Practical Photovoltaics, and the course text The Maine Solar Primer, which has do-it-yourself plans and a good section on passive solar architecture.

All of our courses are kept small and intimate, providing you with a lot of one-to-one time with the teacher.

Cost (includes 3 vegetarian meals a day):

€250 indoors / €200 camping ( concessionary rate: €180 camping)
