This Certificate provides a comprehensive overview on solar thermal systems and their main components.
Learning goals:
The demand for 247Solar’s 24/7 systems that produce solar electricity, heat, and green hydrogen to industrial and utility customers is growing so fast we need an experienced, hands-on Senior Power Systems Engineer to engineer our customer’s systems and then make sure that they get built and operate as engineered.
Can you help us find good candidates? Please refer to our website for the job description at https://247solar.com/solar-energy-careers/
In summary, the ideal candidate has:
As previously announced, Women+ in Concentrated Solar is starting a mentorship program for women and other underrepresented gender identities in the concentrated solar sector, to help our mentees grow as professionals.
We have gathered a database of possible mentors for mentees to choose from. The program is now open to mentees registration. If you or one of your collaborators wish to become one of our 2023 mentees, please fill out the form below by November 30. You will be asked to choose your preferred mentors, so be sure to consult our mentor database beforehand. Mentees are also invited to join our expert database of W+CS members.
N.B. Our mentors of underrepresented gender identities can also become mentees.
The 2023 program will last four months, with at least one virtual meeting per month (higher frequency can be decided at the discretion of paired mentors and mentees).
Mentees will be matched with mentors according to their respective areas of expertise and professional needs. Mentees and mentor placements will be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Connections will be made by December 8, and a kick-off meeting is planned on December 14 @ 6 pm CET to give you more details about how to proceed.
If you are interested in becoming a mentee, please answer the questionnaire below.

Every year, SolarPACES organization grants awards for technology innovation and lifetime achievement at the SolarPACES conference.
No woman or other underrepresented gender identity has won the lifetime achievement award since its creation in 2009, and so few were celebrated for team technology innovation awards.
We believe that few underrepresented gender identities apply for these awards, so…
To change this tendency, we encourage you to apply!
This concerns you too!
We can assist you in your application, write a letter of support for you, and help you get in contact with relevant entities to get other letters of support. Please contact us for more info.
