The workshop was full of valuable content, covering everything from the basics of electricity to the application of Ohm\u2019s Law for solar system design. <\/p>\n<p>During the workshop, Steve shared several fun facts. I learned: in the late 1800s, Thomas Edison, and Nicola Tesla were embroiled in an intellectual battle between AC and DC electricity known as \u201cwar of the currents\u201d; refrigerators run in cycles rather than 24\/7; in solar design, we aim for less than a 2% drop in voltage over the length of the system; a consumer can be informed and empowered to monitor their energy usage using a device called a \u201ckill-o-watt\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>By the end of this informative and interactive workshop, the whole class was able to engage in a variety of basic solar design exercises! Each and every month Steve hosts a workshop where there is a new topic, for September the topic is \u201cSeries vs. Parallel.\u201d To attend a workshop registration is required, log into the <a href=\"https:\/\/grid.force.com\/community\/login\">GRID portal<\/a> for other upcoming dates.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that GRID North Valley offers workshops for those who want to go more in-depth with their solar education?
