"The exploding interest in solar power and renewable energy creates a tremendous demand for all levels of solar training in solar power technology, solar application engineering, energy system installation, and solar power equipment usage. This three-day course training is designed to provide industry professionals with a better understanding of the photovoltaic industry, and PV system applications.  Course attendees will become knowledgeable in the design of Photovoltaic mounting systems, system statics, roof load calculations, as well as new energy inverters.  Attendees will also be able to apply their training in a hands-on course session."

"Solar Workshop, Training & Conference"

Valentine's day and solar.

Here is the coolest solar promotion video. It shows how solar marketing can be fun and unconventional. It is shared with us by “The Vote Solar Initiative”, which is a very important authority in the solar industry and here’s why:

“The Vote Solar Initiative was founded after a successful effort to pass a San Francisco ballot initiative for solar on city-owned buildings in November, 2001. With the goal of building the economies of scale necessary to bring down solar’s costs, Vote Solar worked to replicate that grassroots policy success in cities and states around the country. As the solar industry matured, new challenges rose to the forefront, and Vote Solar has expanded its operations accordingly. The fact is, there are still serious regulatory roadblocks impeding solar adoption. Today Vote Solar works at the state, federal and local level to implement programs and policies that allow strong  solar markets to grow — and pave the way for a transition to a renewable energy economy.” (www.votesolar.org)

Now, please watch the short video and let me know if you like it as much as we do.

2009 - a great year for KACO. Worldwide. Here's a little recap.

Photovoltaics is not only growing strongly in the US - it also encounters high growth rates on a world-wide level.

Worldwide.
Since March 2009, KACO new energy GmbH Italy's new business seat is in Prato near Florence. Our on-site manager there is Guiseppe Mangione, an experienced service technician. 
Since April 2009, KACO new energy GmbH Sucursal en Espana, under the management of Daniel Eder, has started to take care of our Spanish customers. The Spanish branch office is located in the Coslada district of Madrid.
And since this summer, we have an office in Lyon, France. Photovoltaic plants which are integrated in buildings are especially made attractive by the French government - it offers the highest feed-in-tariffs in Europe.
At the end of March 2009 the Treasury Department of the People's Republic of China initiated a support program for solar power plants. This step marked the start of the first major solar program on China's domestic market. Since KACO wants to take part in the solar boom to be expected in China, it has established its own sales office in Beijing. 

In the US.
2009 was a great year for us in the US as well.
