Puget Sound Electrical - JATC

Location:
Renton, WA
Technology Type:
solar
PV System Size:
11.00 - kilowatts

A 9-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system was installed on the Puget Sound Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee’s (PSEJATC) Training Center in 2005. It was the first phase of a proposed 50-kilowatt system. PSEJATC provides training for 2,000 journey-level electricians and 600 state-certified apprentices.

This project will substantially increase the number of electricians qualified to design and install solar power systems, removing a critical bottleneck to the regional expansion of this fast-growing technology. The PV system will allow PSEJATC to expand its 16-hour... Read full project narrative >>
