Participants in this online/hands-on hybrid course will learn how to perform a site assessment for a small wind system. The course will cover how to evaluate a site’s wind energy potential, determine wind speeds at proposed heights, make a load profile for a client’s energy needs, determine appropriate tower heights, and estimate kWh output for a system based upon wind resources.

To receive a MREA Wind Site Assessor Certificate, a participant will need to perform two practice site
assessments, pass a written test, and pay a $50 exam fee.

Format for this course:
The course will work online July 1-28, 2013, and then face-to-face on August 3-4.
