Join our enormously popular instructor Bjarne Hansen for an evening of discussion about the various ways to generate power and how best to store it. After a bit about safety, a quick “here’s how electricity works” intro, and some tool-talk, he’ll go on to discuss:

  • Solar panels
  • Wind generators
  • Towed generators
  • Fossil-fuelled generators

Bjarne will help you understand:

  • Lead-acid batteries
  • Lithium batteries
  • How to charge them in a way that maximizes their life
  • Charge controllers
  • Battery monitors

Finally, he’ll help you troubleshoot. Electricity and water? What could possibly go wrong? Bjarne is here to help you do it right.
