Solar Energy International (SEI) is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to help others use renewable energy and environmental building technologies through education and technical assistance. SEI was founded in 1992 in the belief that renewable energy resources of sun, wind and water can improve the quality of life and promote a sustainable future for people throughout the world. SEI educates decision-makers, technicians and users of renewable energy systems. Decision-makers gain the information they need to choose renewable energies with confidence. Technicians and users learn the practical skills they need to implement renewable energy technologies in a sustainable manner.

SEI’s programs include the Renewable Energy Education Program (REEP), International Training courses, Solar in the Schools, and International Volunteers in Environmentally Sustainable Technologies (INVEST).

SEI’s main educational program is the Renewable Energy Education Program (REEP). Each year hundreds of people from around the world attend hands-on workshops seeking practical experience and skills to use renewable energy resources and technologies. Classroom and laboratory work are complemented by case studies, field tours and professional installations with commercial equipment in practical applications.
