Green Collar Zone
Green Collar Zone hands-on alternative energy trainers prepare students and adults for careers in the growing green economy.
Solar Panel Installer, Wind Energy Technician, Solar Thermal Technician, and Weatherization Technician are real jobs in the sustainable energy arena; Questech’s trainers make the technology easy to teach in the classroom.
STEM based curriculum integrates academic concepts into a safe work experience, using professional tools of each trade.
Workstations
-
Solar Panel Installer - This workstation introduces students to the basic principles of solar power. It leads them through a series of hands-on activities to install a set of solar panels on a roof system using industry grade materials. Students work with a solar panel mounting system, solar panel roof anchors, electrical wire, storage batteries, power inverter, and solar charge controller, and tie all to a residential electrical service panel.
-
Solar Thermal Energy Technician - This workstation teaches the basic principles of solar thermal energy. The STEM-based curriculum leads students through a series of hands-on activities to apply those principles in skills practice.
Solar thermal energy technicians design, develop, install, and service solar thermal systems, from small residential solar water heaters to commercial solar thermal collectors at electric power plants. -
Wind Turbine Technician - This workstation introduces students to the principles of the power generating wind turbine. It leads them through a series of hands-on activities to assemble a wind turbine power generator, connect it to a power inverter and wire the inverter to an electrical service panel.
-
Weatherization Technician - In this workstation, students will perform a series of testing procedures as part of an Energy Audit, including a blower test to check for air leaks in the building, and a heat loss test to determine insulation quality and efficiency. They will learn about techniques used to insulate and seal a structure to improve its efficiency and weather tightness, then will perform the hands-on tasks to correct the inefficiencies. As an exercise in deconstruction, students will then remove all insulation, putty, and caulk to return the workstation to a ready state for the next rotation.
