Today, PSEJATC generated 0.0 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 0.0 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 0 sec
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 0 sec
  • A typical video game system for 0 sec

The 9-kilowatt solar electric power system was installed on the Puget Sound Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee’s (PSEJATC) Training Center. It is the first phase of a proposed 50-kilowatt system, the largest solar power installation in Washington State (as of February 2005).

The PSEJATC annually provides training for 2,000 journey-level electricians and 600 state-certified apprentices. This solar project will substantially increase the number of electricians qualified to design and install solar power systems, removing a critical bottleneck to the regional expansion of this fast-growing technology. The new solar electric system will allow PSEJATC to expand its 16-hour Solar Power Continuing Education class, and will dramatically improves the program’s curriculum by offering hands-on installation training. PSEJATC is committed to expanding the system by 5 kilowatts each year as part of its training program.
