SEI’s Newest Podcast Episode: The Important of Understanding Solar Energy Production Calculators




In the world of data and systems management there is a common phrase, “garbage in / garbage out”. Basically what that is saying is if the data being put into a system is inaccurate or garbage, that is exactly what you are going to get as an output – garbage.

As the solar industry grows and project developers, EPCs, and financiers want to see accurate energy production models during the feasibility study stage of any potential solar project, it is crucial for solar professionals to understand the software tools and calculators used during the energy production estimation stage of any project.

SEI Alumni Highlight: Jennifer Brandon’s ‘Small But Mighty’ Solar Rover Powers Events Around Seattle! 

Why a career in solar power? I come from the Southeast (land of the air conditioner), where I was selling old, inefficient homes. I got wiser and realized the impact I was having on our planet and wanted a career that would help it, not continue to hurt it. I started to notice solar power on homes in my area and started to research it. I found a wonderful school, Solar Energy International, that taught me how to design and install solar energy. From there I made connections and got my first job in 2008.
