Solar Electricity (PV)

We offer Photovoltaic workshops for PV owners and potential PV installers. Our Introductory PV class for the Homeowner will help make you an informed consumer and a conscientious PV owner. For professionals who plan to install one or more systems, we offer a series of Basic, Intermediate and Advanced classes which cover the necessary information to install a safe and reliable PV system.
