Hybrid street light shines on new alternative energy program
Outside the TEEX utilities and energy training facility on the Texas A&M Riverside Campus, a new vertical-axis wind generator and solar hybrid street light has been installed to launch TEEX’s new alternative energy training program. TEEX is the first training site in the Brazos Valley that is affiliated with the Texas Renewable Energy Education Consortium (TREEC), and plans to offer its first 40-hour apprentice-level certification course in solar installation, starting Oct. 31.
