This workshop will include an overview of system theory and design, as well as a discussion of component selection and sizing. The workshop will walk you though the basics of site assessment, understanding a system's potential in our climate, finding a solar contractor, comparing bids and understanding incentives, installation, and maintenance and operation of your system.
