Through internships, hands-on training, curriculum, and volunteering opportunities, RREAL is doing its part in developing the solar workforce and raising awareness.

RREAL is proud to partner with the Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa by hosting solar outreach specialist for years and providing hundreds of presentations regarding the value of solar energy.

These great folks helped install the Leech Lake Community Solar for Community Action array on Leech Lake and have continued to help with more of our installs.

RREAL installed a solar heated high tunnel at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN so more students could learn about growing plants & solar during the school year!
