INSTALLATION AND DESIGN OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
In this course, we will have theoretical explanation and practical learning to design and install self-made solar electric systems for home, either autonomous or hybrids.

A two-day course with Pako Ibañez about designing and installing photovoltaic (PV) systems including theory and practicals. The course focuses mainly on stand-alone (off-grid) systems but can be tailored to meet individual interests.
how do PV modules work?
assessing the solar resource
system components (charge controllers, inverters, batteries)
quantifying power requirements
test PV modules
take part in a step-by-step installation
learn about different systems at Sunseed

The photovoltaic power source is a good choice in areas where you have good sunshine, and if you do not want, or can not make, a connection to the grid or other commercial network of electricity.
If we want to build a facility on our own, we need to know the basic principles of electricity and photovoltaic systems.

The course starts on Saturda

Social Media Intern

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
