SEI and GRID are officially partnering in 2013 to bring training to GRID&#8217;s volunteers and team leaders, provide extra hands-on and leadership experience to SEI students, and collaborate on new opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>Solar Energy International is a non-profit educational organization that provides <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solarenergy.org\/solar-training-renewable-energy-workshops\">hands-on workshops and online courses<\/a> in solar PV, wind, micro-hydro and solar hot water and works cooperatively with grassroots and development organizations in the Americas, Africa, Micronesia and the Caribbean. SEI, a long-time friend of GRID Alternatives, helped us with our early work in California. Now that we&#8217;ve set up shop in Colorado, it&#8217;s time to take our relationship to the next level.
