_The solar electricity course previously offered in Deming through the Dona Ana Community College is again being offered at the Luna County Cooperative Extension Service office.

The class introduces students to the specialized vocabulary of solar electricity plus how to harness the sun's energy to pump your well, power part or all of your house or small business, save money on household energy expenses, and make your electric meter spin backwards or remove it all together.

Reportedly, the course is geared to present solid technical information with real-life examples and is described as a wide-ranging, fact-filled, introductory course.

The five-week class will meet on Thursday evenings beginning February 23rd and will run through March 22nd. A field trip to some local solar installations is scheduled for Saturday, March 24th.

No college credit is earned through the course.

Enrollment is now open and only 12 participants will be accepted.

The course costs $50 to cover books and handouts.
