Can you tell me where to get started?
I’m interested in a complete career change in order to follow my passion. I’ve been fascinated with alternative energy sources since I was building solar heat collectors for middle school science fairs. Since graduating with a BA, I’ve been in sales the last 15 years, yet I hold an enormous amount of detailed scientific common sense that is driving me to this change.
I would like to renovate existing homes with green technologies that will ease the burden or relieve the burden of the homeowner’s utility costs. I want to retrofit homes with solar panels, solar heat collectors, rainwater sisterns and everything else.
Point me in the right direction and help me make my passion a labor of love. Thank you.
More info: I’d like to limit the scope of business to solar electricity generation, solar thermal transfer and rainwater and HVAC condensation reclamation.
It’s awesome that you want to move into a greener life style. Education is the key to offering a successful green consulting service. There are many free online resources to accumulate the needed knowledge. I also suggest some hands on learning as well. I offer an on-site workshop on my 100% Off the Grid / Alternative Energy / Green run Ranch to help people make the green conversion. I charge nothing for it, it’s just a way to educate the people on eco friendly living. For more info check http://www.agua-luna.com/
I also offer many guides on various How to DIY Green projects such as “solar electricity generation, solar thermal transfer and rainwater and HVAC condensation reclamation.” and mroe at http://www.agua-luna.com/guides.html
Hope this helped, I wish you all the luck,
