Next Saturday and Sunday, we have the Irish national inspector for solar water systems here to teach the basics about solar, wind and water energy systems.
Saturday morning covers the basics of the technologies. In the afternoon we'll visit a local wind turbine and see the theory in practice. We may also visit a solar water installation nearby.
Sunday is a practical hands-on day, where you will build a simple solar water heating system, using standard parts and materials which are readily available.
You can book one or both days (€90 per day includes organic lunch), but we need final numbers asap so please book on the Organic Centre's website or ring them on 071-98-54338.
Also coming up (all these courses can be booked through the Organic Centre):
Wednesday (15 April): Garden Complete covering compost, weed control, and companion planting, Spring planting, pricking out.
Saturday (18 April): How to Run a Community Food Project
16 May: Sustainable Design with a special focus on the creation of affordable, mortgage-free dwellings
Hope to see you on the land soon!
Mike & Suzie Cahn
