The Solar Engineering & Manufacturing Association (SEMA) has invited all association members and guests to participate in an educational survey. The brief survey, located at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QYV7XPM, was created to help SEMA understand the needs of the solar industry in terms of training courses. This information will be used by SEMA to develop courses catered to the solar industry, the first of which will be held at the SEMA Technical Conference and Exhibition in February 2011 in California's Bay Area.

Matthew Holzmann, President of SEMA, said, "Based on feedback from SEMA members, we have identified a need for solar training courses for persons entering the industry as well as those who already are working in the industry. SEMA is looking to develop courses that will cater to that need and feedback on necessary training courses is important. Therefore, we strongly encourage participation in this survey."

SEMA is a member-driven educational, technical and professional association serving the solar manufacturing and related industries as an indispensible resource for key stakeholders in research, manufacturing, academia and government. The international association is a forum for like-minded professionals to network, debate and exchange technical information for the advancement of solar technology.
