I just sent in my yearly dues for this list. I know this year has been tough for a lot of us in this industry, and it might be harder than normal to come up with some extra cash right now. But I think it's also more important than ever to have available to us this resource that Michael Welch is facilitating for us. The insights into things that you gain by sharing with other installers around the country is something that manufacturer support lines and installation guides just don't give, especially on older equipment or systems integrating multiple manufacturers.
I try to think... how much money has getting an answer here (or a dozen possibly conflicting opinions :p ) on a question saved me in time spent dealing with an issue in the field or in design. I'm sure there's at least once in the last year it saved me a few hour drive... or made that drive more worthwhile because I knew how to approach a problem. It might seem a bit antiquated compared to modern social media... but I have never wanted to just ban it from my computer, unlike just about every other social media or networking site out there. Not that there isn't occasionally some drama on here too (okay... I didn't realize that talking about AH counting battery SOC meters on lithium batteries would be one of those topics .... ) but compared to everywhere else, this group is just useful, direct to the point, technical info sharing. And I think that's valuable enough to send some money to support. Zeke -- Zeke Yewdall PV Engineer NABCEP #031508-89 [email protected] 303-523-3592 <(303)%20523-3592>
