Connect with local solar experts

My Husband & I are due to return to MS soon from England and want to build/have built our own home but want to incorprate energy saving aspects to our home. Where can we get advise about what is avaiable and recommended for our needs

Hi Julie, I would recommend filling out the form above with solar project details, or at least what you have at this point, and getting a pro to all and answer your questions. Solar expertise is pretty localized by state, so a salesperson in MS is going to be best equipped to answer your questions. In the meantime, check out the rebates and subsidies available in MS at http://www.solarpowerrocks.com/mississippi/

I’m in Illinois, near Chicago, I’m licensed Electrical Contractor.
How do I go about becomming installer of Solar Cell Energy Systems, what kind of training needed.
I think there is great opportunity awaiting.

Andrew, I am going to hook you up with one of our Chicago based installers to get you some more information. You’re right on, there is a great opportunity awaiting. Congratulations on having the courage to pursue it!

I live in Madison,Wi. and like Andrew Gil would like more info on training to install alternative energy systems. Thanks.

Hey Dan, I was just about to ask the same question as Andrew. Could hook me up with the same Chicago based installer for more information as well?

Sat and William (and anyone else looking for training info),

The info from the Chicago area installer was pretty simple. Get NABCEP certification, train with experienced installation crews, and apply for jobs. However, please also check out The Interstate Renewable Energy Council for further training and workforce development initiatives. They are an excellent resource.

Hi,
I’m a GA non restricted electrical contractor and am looking at getting into selling and installing residential/commercial photovoltaic systems. I have been doing a good bit of online research and would like to know which one of the many PV installation training programs you readers would recommend. Here are some of the providers I located:

1)North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners
2)North Carolina Solar Center
3)Florida Solar Energy Center
4)Solar Energy International
5)Solairgen, Inc.
6)Sharp Solar Systems

Prices were generally $500 - $ 1,000 and class-time w/hands-on varied from 2 - 10 days. If anybody knows of another one, or can vouch for one of these, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Need to get a bid and all grant information available.

I had solar power growing up in the 70’s and therefore, know that it is a viable option here. We want to teach our children that solar power is clean and plentiful. The best way is to have it fuel our personal energy needs.
