Friends:
I have met Mr. Wiles and I know him to be intelligent, passionate and a
nice person.
I do not always agree with Mr. Wiles' advice. He is widely read in the
industry, which is not always a good thing. I have had to waste valuable
time disabusing building officials of points of view they have acquired
from Mr. Wiles that I am convinced are just plain wrong. His input has
been good at times and bad at other times.
I would not support funding with taxpayer dollars to continue his role in
the industry.

I don't know anyone in the industry, more authoritative and active in
educating installers than John. I've depended on his as the last word on
many, many issues. If his funding is in jeopardy, we collectively would
be negligent not to argue on his behalf.

For what it's worth, I think supporting continued funding of John Wiles is
consistent with the intent of this list serve. It seems that part of the
mission of this list serve is the installation of NEC compliant solar
electric systems. Mr. Wiles has provided feedback to many, including me,
that has helped produce better installations. Having access to this type
of expertise is consistent with the Obama administration's support of
renewable energy technology.

I know that Michael Welch does not like when we Wrenches goes down the
road of advocacy, but I wanted to put in a plug for John Wiles.
The federal funding that has supported John's time and availability to the
PV industry has been cut. I for one have relied on John as an invaluable
resource on numerous occasions and have sent a brief email to his boss
requesting that funding be restored.
I respectfully request that you all consider doing the same.
Thanks,
