Solar Energy Training - Testimonials
If I was asked to rate my experience, training, & education quality on a scale from one to ten, ten being the best, I would give it a 20. Without a doubt this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. In six days I feel I have gone from a solar dummy to a solar pro. Really, the quality of education at all levels has been exemplary. If a student is thinking about a course in solar then this is the Stanford of Solar. Real hands on experience coupled with great instructors is a win
-win for all. Thank you Boots.. Jay A.
