Paul Ayotte
As a child, Paul Ayotte, was fascinated by how things worked. The early expressions of this fascination resulted in him taking household items apart much to his parents' dismay. Eventually, he could also put them back together and for over 25 years has worked in technology, building computers. His most recent passion includes solar energy. He is a Certified Photovoltaic Installer and a member of Electronics Technical Association International. When receiving his training he became excited about the potential of the Solar Generator to bring solar energy to more people due to its compact design and portability for personal use. He is excited to be a part of Rootwire 2016 and share what he has learned.
Workshop #1: Make Your Own Solar Generator
Photovoltaics, better known as solar energy, is the technology used to convert the energy of the sun into usable electricity. The world is starting to realize that the current production of fossil fuels is not sustainable. As we finally begin to focus on serious technology solutions, solar energy will become less of an outlier and more mainstream. This quick workshop will give a basic introduction to Photovoltaics with concentration on the potential of solar generators for personal use. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn the components and assembly of a solar generator as well as resources to help them get started.
