Carroll County Area Technology Center’s electrical technology students will begin learning about solar power. A public presentation is scheduled for this evening to share information about how to incorporate solar power into a residence.
“I’ve always been interested in solar energy,” said John “Tooter” Booth, the electrical instructor and a master electrician. He noted it was a very complicated and expensive process to utilize solar power in a family’s home, but that has changed.
“Anybody can install it at their home and it’s a whole lot more reasonable,” Booth added
His students will install a solar field behind the ATC and the study of solar energy will become part of the curriculum for his class.
Nick Shelton, co-founder and owner of Dynamic Solar Systems will give the solar energy presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the CCMS auditorium. The public is invited to attend.
Carroll County High School has scheduled graduation for 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 31. Details on the number of tickets each student will receive will be announced at a later date. Graduates will receive their diplomas on Monday, June 2, the last day of school.
