Our program includes weekly presentations by a renewable energy professional to the students enrolled in the program, either virtually or in person. The content behind the weekly lectures is structured to give students exposure to the entire solar cycle, from project origination through development, execution, and ongoing operations.

Every week, the instructor facilitates critical thinking exercises that are relevant to the topics discussed during that week, and tie into bigger concepts that will be relevant for the capstone project. Students engaging in these exercises will work on their public speaking, group dynamics, and generally increase their knowledge of concepts in solar energy.

Students design, price and prepare a formal response similar to the type of presentations conducted in the solar industry to evaluate contractors for solar opportunities. Students create their own companies with capabilities, and use tools provided by the instructor to complete their project in a group setting.
