Alternative Energy at CCC

Alternative Energy at CCC This unique two-year program specifically concentrates on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Small Wind Tec meters swept area.

This program can be taken as a full-time, part time, or even a high school student. High School students can take courses for dual credit (if their school supports this program). If a high school is located in Kansas, Senate Bill 155 applies (funds the student’s tuition). Students can also start this program any semester including summer. Each semester, the student will participate in an online co

urse or courses that will precisely prepare him/her for a career in Solar PV and/or Small Wind Technology. Certain online courses have a one Saturday “boot camp” that is highly recommended. However, if the student is unable to attend, an alternative assignment will be given. Our boot camps have state-of-the art equipment/labs that are real-world systems (not mockups) for hands-on training. Some of the best training experiences found in the program are through the hands-on labs. Boot camps give the student the necessary hands-on training needed to be successful in this industry. Colby Community College was chosen as the site for one of four Regional Small Wind Test Centers in the nation. In partnership with Kansas State University and Midwest Energy, the High Plains Small Wind Test Center conduct tests on turbines at or less than 200 sq. Turbines will be tested for duration, power performance, safety & function, and acoustic noise emissions. Small Wind turbines are designed for the home, farm, and small to medium-sized businesses. For those aspiring to be on the cutting edge of Solar PV or Small Wind, this program has a course and training lab for everyone. The graduates of this unique program will be prepared to take the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Entry Level Exam. Employers look for this credential when hiring. Because this program can be completed in two years, the graduate is quickly prepared for the Solar PV and/or Small Wind turbine industry and his/her career!
