Solar Installer Training in Colorado
Question submitted to Solar Power Authority on July 10th: Where in Colorado can you get training for PV and solar hot water, other than the place in Carbondale? Thanks.
Question clarification to sender by Solar Power Authority: Thanks for your question! In order to help you find the best answer we wanted to clarify your question. It sounds like you are searching for places in Colorado where you can get training on how to install electric generating and water heating solar panels. Is that correct? Are you a do-it-yourselfer or are you actually looking to become a professional installer? Are there any more details you would like us to include in this question as we circulate it in our company and try to provide the best answer?
Clarification by asker: I am looking to become a professional solar installer not a DIY.
To answer this question we looked far and wide for resources detailing the different training options in Colorado but the best ones we came up with were already posted on our site under Colorado Solar Resources near the bottom under "Education". The facility referred to in the question in Carbondale Colorado is called Solar Energy International (SEI) and ufortunately that is the only training company that we know of. Other places to look for answers to this question or repost it include the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES). They may know of something else out there, however, when we searched their site we couldn't see any other links or answers.
In any case, as solar options grow in popularity we will update this entry and we also encourage our readers to comment on any training spots that they know of!

DIY Solar Pool Heater
This morning one of our readers sent us a little do it yourself tip for heating a swimming pool based on what one of her friends is doing. The full comment follows: "Not a question, but a little info: Knowing how hot the water gets in a garden hose, a friend with a swimming pool bought a bunch, I do not know how much, of black garden hose. She spread it out in big curls on top of a nearby flat roofed building. She then fixed up a small recirculating pump, ran the water to the swimming pool to warm...Headlines:
