  • New To Solar - Need Direction

    Hi guys. I am currently a building contractor and roofing contractor in northeast Florida. I have recently acquired my license for solar. Are there any "go-to" websites or particular classes that I should check out. Also, should I check around to find a local supplier for materials or is it common to order job materials online? Any help would be appreciated.

    Best to get a local supplier, so you can pound on their desk when there are issues !

      You are in the business with zero knowledge it sounds like?

          Frank - Two bits of training blather - all they do is cost money for next to zero gain. Anything and everything they offer is available for free on the net.

          I agree the felow needs guidance but hiring a qualified electrical engineer will do far more. Neither of those training programs qualify anyone for much of anything - except maybe paying for another course.

            Thank for the recommendation. Is there a particular manufacturer you guys recommend for water heating systems?

              It seems this supplier is good fit as it is supplying good water heating system to Dubai, UAE etc.
