Dear Jesse,
1. Go to the Dallas solar exhibition and spend a lot of time on the floor
talking to real engineers with field experience (not salespeople). First
question to ask is "How many PV systems have you installed?" Anyone with
less than 50 systems under their belt is either reading from the book or
still in training.
2. Attend a Bill Brooks training session. Bill has strong opinions that some
wrenches disagree with but has seen more PV installations than over 99% of
the people on Earth and has spend decades thinking about what is good and
bad PV.
3. Meet with and walk the exhibit floor with and talk shop day and night
with as many wrenches as you can (at least 3 a day).
4. Go to the exhibits all the time they are open and keep your ears open.
Wrenching is parts and the people who put parts together. Only go to
sessions and workshops when the exhibits are closed.
5. Don't become a true believer in any one part or one way to put parts
together. There are many good and bad parts and techniques. The quest is
finding something better.
Have fun.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Solar gathering?
All,
I am looking for advice on a trade show or continuing Ed classes to attend
in the future. I have around $1800 to spend on this endeavor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks as always,
Jesse
