The Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technical Education (CREATE) will have unique instructional opportunities with the installation of the largest solar energy system in Wisconsin at Madison Area Technical College (Madison College).
"It will be great because our students will be able to work on the installation itself [in 2018], and they will do the ongoing operations and maintenance over the next 20 to 30 years," said Kenneth A. Walz, CREATE's principal investigator and an instructor of chemistry and engineering at Madison College. The educators from across the country who attend the STEM Educator Solar Institute offered by CREATE, an Advanced Technological Education national support center, will also benefit from it.
With the growth of renewable energy jobs, CREATE added a second Solar Institute for summer 2017. There are still openings for the free three-day workshop in July at Madison College, and in August at Shoreline Community College in Shoreline, Washington.
