Renewable Energy Thrives in Paonia...
...Because SEI envisions a world powered by renewable energy!
SEI's hands-on labs are offered at their world-class lab facility in Paonia that serves over 600 visitors and students who travel to the North Fork Valley each year. These visitors contribute over $1 million to the local economy through their hands-on renewable energy training.
Though the town of Paonia is small, big ideas and world changing efforts flow from this small community. The solar energy industry's largest component manufacturers choose to donate their equipment to SEI's training facility to showcase the newest technologies. SEI's students benefit from this industry outpouring of support by having access to these technologies in their lab classes.
Nine years ago SEI expanded operations from their original Carbondale location to include a 7-acre parcel of land amongst this diverse agricultural community. This expansion serves as a foundation to SEI’s long-range goal of creating a renewable energy educational center which provides a diverse and enriching forum for participants to engage and learn.
The SEI educational center is equipped to provide hands-on experiential learning and showcase the potential for renewable energy technologies, especially Solar Photovoltaics (PV). SEI’s educational center offers students an unparalleled opportunity to practice what they’ve learned in the classroom.
As part of SEI’s commitment to deliver code compliant, safety oriented, cutting edge curriculum and training opportunities to participants, SEI has continued to advance the hands-on training capabilities in PV. The PV training program explores the various system types (grid-direct, grid-tied with battery back-up, and stand- alone) and mounting techniques (roof mount, pole mount, and ground mount) common in the PV industry.
Participants in SEI’s PV workshops work with instructors who have extensive field experience and are passionate about teaching, offering an unparalleled combination of hands-on knowledge and technical expertise.
While staying in the North Fork Valley make sure to stop by SEI's training facility at 39845 Mathews Lane in Paonia to check out our bookstore and meet our staff or call (970) 527-7657 to schedule a tour of the facility.
