Alternate and Renewable Energy
Introduction
There are two broad categories which encompass this equipment. The first is based on renewable energy sources (solar, wind, water, biomass). The second on alternative energies and non conventional hydrocarbon based energy sources. DarbyTech recommends the following equipment for “hands on” training in a renewable and alternate energy training program.
Note that all DarbyTech Alternative and Renewable Energy equipment includes both the hardware and custom written training manuals. Wherever possible, commercially available equipment or modules are provided. In some cases significant customization or special designs may be required. DarbyTech equipment is fully functional, working equipment, not bench models. In all cases, extra instrumentation and safety equipment are included to provide a safe and thorough learning experience.
