Un s\u00e1bado soleado de la ma\u00f1ana en Grand Junction, los empleados del National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) iniciaron la primera de tres actividades voluntarias con GRID Alternatives, CO. Tras el proyecto piloto de energ\u00eda solar comunitaria del 30 de mayo, los voluntarios del NREL participaron en un proyecto de tejados de viviendas unifamiliares cerca de Denver y en el primer sistema multipropiedad de GRID CO en Fort Morgan.<\/p>\n

Suzy Belmont, especialista en sostenibilidad y actual coordinadora de los proyectos de GRID en NREL, fue una de las casi 30 voluntarias de NREL que han trabajado en proyectos de GRID a lo largo de 2015. Recientemente, tuvo tiempo para conversar con Bobby Kirby, miembro del equipo de GRID, sobre sus experiencias como voluntaria, c\u00f3mo los proyectos de GRID ayudan a fomentar el trabajo en equipo y su percepci\u00f3n de ser el \u00fanico grupo en la historia de GRID en poder participar en los tres tipos de instalaciones solares (techo, solar comunitario y para familias). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Suzy se hizo voluntaria en GRID Alternatives mientras decia si entrar o no en la industria solar; quer\u00eda probar una instalaci\u00f3n antes de volver a enfocar su programa de maestr\u00eda en sistemas civiles (centr\u00e1ndose en las energ\u00edas renovables). \u201cVoluntariar en GRID\u201d, coment\u00f3, \u201c\u00a1me ayud\u00f3 a consolidar mi inter\u00e9s por seguir una carrera en el campo solar!\u201d Suzy utiliz\u00f3 su experiencia como voluntaria como ejemplo mientras buscaba trabajo en la industria y finalmente consigui\u00f3 su trabajo en NREL. <\/p>\n

Al coordinar estas instalaciones GRID, ha recibido bastante feedback de sus colegas: \u2018\u00a1QUEREMOS M\u00c1S OPORTUNIDADES PARA LOS VOLUNTARIOS\u2026 \u00a1VOLVEOS A LA R\u00cdA!\u2019 Suzy dice que sus colegas adoran las instalaciones GRID porque les dan a la plantilla la oportunidad de conocerse mejor y permite una perspectiva diferente de los sistemas solares. Participar en un sistema en tejado o en suelo ha permitido a los empleados del NREL ver claramente los impactos econ\u00f3micos y ambientales del sol, que rara vez se pueden apreciar mientras se trabaja en el laboratorio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Los impactos de los tres proyectos de instalaci\u00f3n solar en los que participaron los voluntarios del NREL son bastante impresionantes:<\/p>\n

Potencia instalada total: <\/strong>68,26 kW<\/p>\n

Familias atendidas: <\/strong>59<\/p>\n

Ahorros a lo largo de la vida: <\/strong>$418,770<\/p>\n

Ahorro de CO2 a lo largo de la vida: <\/strong>2.133 toneladas<\/p>\n

equivalente a los \u00e1rboles plantados: <\/strong>41,704<\/p>\n

Gracias NREL por todo el apoyo y el arduo trabajo! \u00a1No podemos esperar a trabajar de nuevo con su equipo!.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
