SUMMARY:TSR Workshops: Light Work A Community Guide to Solar Power & Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Silver Room to learn about solar power and resistance in our Light Work: A Community Guide to Solar Power and Resilience \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSolar technology doesn’t have to be complicated or corporate! Together\, we’ll learn how to design and assemble a portable solar generator – an off-grid power system that can keep phones charged\, lights on\, and even fridges running for outdoor use or during emergency power outages. \nSession 1: Focuses on identifying all of the necessary components of an energy system and how they are assembled. \nSession 2: Expands upon the first session by focusing on performing the necessary calculations to design your own system from scratch \nBorn and raised on the Southside of Chicago\, Keyante is a solar energy system installer by trade. He got his start in the industry as a participant of the Chicago Urban League’s Solar Installation Program. As a Trades instructor\, Keyante’s goal is to provide participants with enough knowledge and skills to be competitive candidates in the industry. When not instructing\, Keyante runs a startup called Daze of Autonomy\, installing Microgrid energy systems for landowners. With rising energy costs\, ever present climate changes and increasing cyber attacks on critical infrastructure\, Keyante believes decentralized energy infrastructure provides security and resilience our communities.
