Dublin, GA - Students from Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s Electronics and Electricians Assistant programs toured the campus of MAGE Solar’s North American Headquarters and the MAGE Solar Academy in Dublin on Wednesday, March 13th.  Students saw first-hand, the marriage of electronic devices with electrical power.
 
Students began with a tour of two exterior solar arrays – a car charging station and a ground mount array, both located at the Dublin facility.
 
“Solar is just one of the many fields open to our students once they complete a program in electronics and/or electricity,” said Oconee Fall Line Technical College (OFTC) Instructor Lee Radney. “It’s important for them to be familiar with this technology and its possibilities.”
 
OFTC teaches its students with a two-part approach: classroom instruction to understand the concepts and hands-on labs to apply their knowledge and establish a greater depth of understanding.
 

Dublin City Schools Pre-K registration begins today.

According to a Dublin City Schools tweet, registration is from 9-5:30 p.m. at Moore Street School.

Children must be 4 years old on or before Sept 1, 2013 to be registered.

Dublin High School of Dublin City Schools will soon implement 1 megawatt of solar energy.

The 4,000 panel solar power plant will be the largest in Central Georgia and is expected to save the school 40 percent in energy costs.

Dublin City Schools Superintendent Chuck Ledbetter told 13WMAZ, "The facility will be built and owned by private business and the school system will lease the solar power plant, saving us money in energy costs."

The original plan was developed more than 15-months ago by German based MAGE SOLAR, which has a plant located in Laurens County.

Members of the Public Service Commission will attend a groundbreaking Monday at the Dublin High School auditorium.
