I have been hired at Solar Source in Largo, FL, teaching a Solar Electric class, "Introduction to Photovoltaics". My next class is June 10,11,12 (next week as I post this). The class is good for CE credits for contractors as well. It sure feels good finally going back to work after a year being laid off. I have massive amounts of research material at my disposal and I have been reading more than my first two years of College.

If anyone is interested email me at jparish"at"solarsource.net and I'll get you in touch with the president of SSI. We have a two week course next month with lab and hands-on training installing PV systems which may have grant money available for Qualifying Students.

I should be able to answer most Photovoltaic Installation Questions, wire & overcurrent calculations, conduit fill calculations, disconnect requirements and grounding. Feel free to email me or post a question.
