PPC Solar participates in many community events, to give back and connect with our local community. We love participating in the annual Taos “Invent Event”, providing set-up support, organizational assistance, and volunteering time for the community event which 500+ area youth have attended to explore a range of STEM related activities.
Additionally, we offer local non-profits the use of our solar powered trailer for community events, recently used by Amigos Bravos for their annual Rally for the Rio in Pilar, NM and LEAP NeoRio’s annual harvest feast at the Rio Grande National Monument Wild Rivers in Questa, NM.
-
PPC Solar team members have taught solar workshops at a range of local schools, hosted solar education seminars for the community, and we’re involved in providing curriculum guidance for the UNM Taos Adult Education “Intro to Renewable Energy” course; providing class content for 3 of the classes (Tools of the Trade, “Day in the Life” of a solar installer & Solar Industry Careers).
