There's no single path to learning about solar energy, and after 15 years of teaching thousands of students and professionals, Jay Warmke knows this better than most. In this engaging conversation, Jay breaks down the different types of learners he's encountered, the teaching approaches that actually work, and the challenges (and opportunities) of communicating renewable energy concepts to diverse audiences.
Whether you're an educator, an outreach professional, or just passionate about inspiring the next generation of clean energy advocates, this discussion offers practical insight into making solar education click for everyone.
About the speaker: Jay Warmke has spent 15 years writing renewable energy textbooks, teaching solar, wind, and renewable energy across the Midwest, and training industry professionals through solarPVtraining.com. He also hosts several podcasts, including Solar News Weekly (sponsored by ASES), Solar Noon Tuesdays, and When the BioMass Hits the Wind Turbine.
Jay and his wife Annie live at Blue Rock Station, a sustainable living center featuring the first Earthship built east of the Mississippi, straw bale buildings, a plastic bottle greenhouse, gardens, milk goats, and more than 40,000 visitors over the years drawn to their vision of sustainable living.
