Free Solar Seminar!
Our first seminar on March 24th was a great success with about 20 people excited to learn about the new Washington State incentive programs. Our next seminar will be at the same, central Tri Cities location on the 23rd of June.
Bob Skinner and Jonathan Lewis of Hire Electric will cover the basics of going solar in today’s economy, the Washington State incentive program, Washington manufactured inverters and solar panels, community solar options, federal tax credits, electric vehicle charging coupled with solar and much more! Munchies provided. Bring lots of questions.

Good job/presentation
You did not mention industry certifications like NABCEP or UL PV Installer. Are these certs relevant? Are you planning to get them? Would they help with marketing?
See you in June
Good to see you Dennis. We started in solar before NABCEP or UL PV certifications were available. My take is that these certifications are basically ways for new comers to gain credibility. Bob Skinner did have to get his Entry Level NABCEP in order to maintain his status as our Oregon Tax Credit Certified Technician. We use journeyman electricians and apprentices with years of experience for all of our installations. They have a passion for PV and extensive knowledge of how to wire things well. Eventually we will be forced to adopt more certifications but for now we haven’t seen the need.
