construction training question?
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

The Solar Living Institute in San Francisco is probably the prime training source (see the links in the article below):

http://energy-conservation.suite101.com/article.cfm/solar_living_institute_offers_green_job_training

You might want to contact them to find out about options closer to your area. Some community colleges have begun to offer such training as well. Both solar and wind turbine installations are a great field to get into at this time. With your previous experience you should have a leg up on a lot of people who are trying to start from scratch in the field. Best of luck to you!

Solar Water Heating in Dragash Municipality, Kosovo $106.74 Water has been heated with the sun almost as long as there have been humans, but it is not until recently that more advanced and effective solar water heating systems have become common, and they are still gaining ground. Through the years new systems and new solar collectors have been developed. In Kosovo, however, not much attention has been paid to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and solar water heating systems is a new concept. However, a solar water heating system has been installed at the hospital in Dragash Municipality in southern Kosovo. The system is a pilot project, to see how well solar energy can be used in this area. This thesis examines the existing solar water heating system at the hospital in Dragash. The possibilities of using the fundamental principle of the solar water heating system at the hospital on residential houses in Dragash is looked into. The total annual incoming solar radiation for one square meter is calculated. The environmental, social and economic effects of solar water heating in Dragash is considered and discussed. Economic calculations are made on the effects of installation of solar water heating systems. Author: Dahl H.

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.
