how do you install solar panels?

i have worked in construction for a while mainly doing concrete and wood framing... but things have gotten a little slow for me and i want to take this as an opportunity to go to a solar panel installation school/training course. my question is if any one knows of a place that will show me how to do that and provied a certification

i live in los angeles california so if you know of a place some what close to here plz let me know

To become a qualified solar installer, it is recommended that you take an accredited course. You can see a list of places that offer these courses at http://irecusa.org/irec-programs/ispq-training-accreditation/ispq-awardees/.

The ultimate goal for installers is to get NABCEP certification. These classes can help acheive that.

The Solar Project $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In 1995 Solar One was converted into Solar Two, by adding a second ring of 108 larger 95 m (1,000 ft ) heliostats around the existing Solar One, totaling 1926 heliostats with a total area of 82,750 m (891,000 ft ). This gave Solar Two the ability to produce 10 megawatts. Solar Two used molten salt, a combination of 60 sodium nitrate and 40 potassium nitrate, as an energy storage medium instead of oil or water as with Solar One. This helped in energy storage during brief interruptions in sunlight due to clouds. The molten salt also allowed the energy to be stored in large tanks for future use such as night time.Solar Two proved it could run continuously around the clock producing power. Solar Two was decommissioned in 1999, and was converted by the University of California, Davis, into an Air Cherenkov Telescope in 2001, measuring gamma rays hitting the atmosphere. Its name is now C.A.C.T.U.S.. Solar Twos 3 primary participants were Southern California Edison (SCE), the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Solar Tres Power Tower $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Solar Tres is a planned 15 MW power plant based on solar thermal energy. It is located west of the city of cija, in Andalusia, Spain. Solar Tres is based on the solar power tower concepts pioneered in the U.S.s Solar One and Solar Two demonstration projects. Solar Tres uses a molten salt as its working fluid, allowing it to be stored in the molten state for power generation at any time. The project, which has received a subsidy of five million Euro from the European Commission, makes use of the Solar Two technology tested in Barstow, California, but will be approximately three times the size. Solar Tres will make use of several advances in technology since Solar Two was designed and built. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Topaz Solar Farm $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Topaz Solar Farm is a proposed 550 megawat solar photovoltaic power plant, to be built by First Solar, Inc. in the Carrizo Plain, northwest of California Valley at a cost of over 1 billion. On August 14, 2008, Pacific Gas and Electric announced an agreement to buy all the power from the power plant. Commenting on this project and a nearby 250 MW project announced at the same time, Daniel Kammen, the director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at University of California, Berkeley, said This scale is ten times larger than what was being talked about awhile ago. OptiSolar, the instigator of the project, had bought 9.5 square miles of ranchland, In November 2009, First Solar announced that it had purchased options to an additional 640 acres from Ausras canceled Carrizo Energy Solar Farm. First Solar would reconfigure the project to minimize the use of land covered by the Williamson Act. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Certification Mark $63.73 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Certification marks differ from collective trade marks. The main difference is that collective trade marks may be used by particular members of the organization which owns them, while certification marks are the only evidence of the existence of followup agreements between manufacturers and nationally accredited testing and certification organisations. Certification organisations charge for the use of their labels and are thus always aware of exact production numbers. In this way, certification organisations can be seen to earn a commission from sales of products under their followup regimes. In return, the use of the certification marks enables the product sales in the first place.

Forest Certification $124.27 The growing concerns over the last two decades about the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of illegal logging and associated trade has led to the development of tools and measures aimed at tackling the problem. One of such global measures is the certification of forest products the requirements of which major importers of tropical timber products mainly from the EU request their suppliers to achieve. With the EU as a major market destination for Ghanaian timber products, most companies in Ghana began implementing certification requirements during the early 2000. However, efforts by these companies have not been successful. In spite of this, very little academic literature exists on why companies are unable to achieve certification and how this affect forest management and timber export trade in Ghana. This book details current forest management practices, certification implementation and its challenges in Ghana and their implications for forest management and timber export trade. The analysis and recommendations provided should be useful for forest managers, administrators, exporters and importers of Ghanaian timber products.

Certification Listing $93.99 A Certification listing is a document against which a field installation is compared see Listing and approval use and compliance to make sure that it complies with a regulation, such as a building code. The article describes particular North American practices. Terms used may have different meaning and application elsewhere. Different approaches and legal requirements may apply elsewhere. Products or items that are subject to product certification and must be used in a specific manner in order to be proven safe for use, are typically required to be installed or used in accordance with a subjectrelated listing, which is a document issued by an organisation that is nationally accredited for doing both testing and product certification work, in accordance with nationally accredited standards. The following is one example of millions of such listings that exist around the world for nearly countless numbers of products, such as toasters, fire extinguishers, fireproofing plasters, etc. This example is a duplicate of an Underwriters Laboratories firestop mortar listing based on the fire test depicted under the Fireresistance rating article.
