Course Description
We are becoming more and more dependent on the grid for electricity. What if we can generate our own household power with the help of wind and sunshine? Sounds interesting? Welcome to Independent Power Course! This comprehensive instructor-based course is a step-by-step guide on how to power your home with renewable energy. Enrol now and harness thousands of watts of power by building solar panels and wind turbines.
Throughout this Independent Power Course, our instructor Steve Maxwell will teach you how to generate your own off the grid wind and solar power energy. Steve will take you on a tour through how to design your system, build a wind turbine, choose specific components, wire the system safely and make it last for years. In a nutshell, this renewable energy course will teach you everything that you should know to generate off-the-grid electricity.
