Aims & Objectives
Living with Solar
Our 'Living with Solar' weekend course is for enthusiasts and people who have (or intend to have) a home renewable energy system. This covers a basic understanding of the main components, trouble shooting and routine maintenance of a home power system.
Understanding the relationship between Amps, Volts and Watts will allow students to quantify their power usage, power availability, and to make informed decisions concerning appropriate lights and appliances.
Conducted by Karlin Bracegirdle at Rainbow Power Company.

Feedback
I did the course with Karlin last year and was very impressed with the information and delivery. I have recommended a friend from Papua New Guinea to do the course this year. Thanks.

I did the course with the wonderful Karlin late last year - very appreciated.

Thanks very much for all your help, and Peter's.
I have found my dealings with RPC to be always very positive. I have come a long way in understanding all this stuff, due primarily to Peter's book and his and your helpful comments and answers to questions.
I would certainly recommend RPC to anyone.
