— THE EXPERIENCE --
"You'll remember this better than any vacation — learning solar, storage,
microgrids, and bidirectional EVs by day, and sitting around
a campfire with new friends by night, just like people
​have done for a very long time."

Not only is this workshop going to be the best for learning about solar, storage, microgrids, bidirectional EVs
and water systems, it will be the experience of a lifetime. You will remember it better and more fondly
than any of your vacations, while at the same time making the World a better place by
making renewables rewarding and by experiencing nature with friends
around a campfire, just like our ancestors did every night.
