Solar Trailer - DAY ONE.

IBEW Local 300 is at the forefront of "green collar" job creation in Vermont. We have the state's only intensive, year-round solar photovoltaic training program for electricians.

Today, we began building our mobile solar trailer. Once finished, the trailer will feature a fully-functional, off-the-grid solar array. We plan to bring it to career fairs, trade shows, rallies and the like to educate folks about green technology.

The following is a brief video clip of IBEW electricians and apprentices mounting solar panels to the side of the trailer. Work continues tomorrow!
