Request for solar educational material [RE-wrenches]

RE-Wrenches and educators,

I am working on a New Mexico Solar Energy Assn. educational project  
to improve the performance and perception of solar systems in NM.   
The goal is to educate the public, particularly the owners of smaller  
commercial and residential solar energy systems about their type of  
system, which components require periodic maintenance, how often, who  
is qualified to do it, and why maintenance is needed.

We intend this information to be used by the solar industry, home  
builders, the State of NM, utility companies, and environmentally  
friendly groups.  Our goal is to help identify solar systems  
installed in NM and help keep them operating safely and efficiently.   
This will help prevent the degradation of valuable energy saving  
equipment and the associated loss of public acceptance of solar systems.

Our first task is to determine if such training already exists, and  
if not, what steps need to be taken to develop the training.  Are YOU  
aware of an existing education program like this?

We are also looking for introductory educational material for the  
public -- VERY elementary -- to introduce a few types of solar  
systems, and their advantages, plus concepts of energy efficiency.

Thanks!
