| Did you know that solar is now one of the cheapest forms of new electricity in the world today? “With sharp cost reductions over the past decade, solar PV is consistently cheaper than new coal or gas-fired power plants in most countries, and solar projects now offer some of the lowest cost electricity ever seen” a recent study stated. Not only is it apparent that solar is the future of energy production, it’s also one of the biggest ways we can help ward off the spooky effects of global warming. In fact, SEI graduates have managed to reduce carbon emissions by 35.9 million metric tons through installing over 31,000 megawatts of solar! Join us in advancing the energy revolution by training online with SEI this November. |
