- F asked: I live in jamaica. I have had a long career in electronics communications maintenance (including battery back ups and charging). I definately want to start a solar sales and installation business. Idont have much money but i believe this is the right time to start. Given this background info is this course a good start?
- J asked: please send the basic info for this online course.
- M asked: I would like more information about your online solar training.
- K asked: how can I obtain more information regarding the online training. I am also very interested in forging a new career in this space. I am an American citizen and now reside in South Africa. Solar energy radiation is especially high in South Africa. The changing costs of electricity (significantly higher) and the need for conservation are two very compelling elements driving a change in this spacer.
- M asked: Hi, may I ask for more information about the solar training- program, prise, what happen after that? Is this information will be good enought to make me and my husband in short time expert. Of course we have interest and wish to do our best! Thank you for your attention! Best regards, and Alexander
