"I've used the training and contacts that I made taking this course to install 5 systems to date with more on the way and they are all working great. I now include geothermal HVAC systems with my Plumbing Heating and Cooling Business. Thank you all for your efforts to bring this great old technology into the mainstream of America."

"Having had my own business since 1985 with 60+ employee's and having attending many workshops/seminars myself over that time, this PV workshop was one of the best organized and along with Ken's knowledge of the PV industry, made this three day workshop a complete success. Ken has the ability to pass on his knowledge of 12 years in the PV industry to a class made up of non electricians with great success. He is extremely patient and makes every effort to disseminate the large amount of technical information in only three days."
