Some
quotes from our students:
"...I've been meaning to give you two an update on how things have gone since I took your class last December...I've finally found a company and job I'm happy with, and you two were part of making that happen. Again - big thanks for being a contributor to my changing of course and finding what looks to be a rewarding work life." D. Postoian, Lead Project Designer, 2009
"Great
class...This is exactly what I was looking for. The knowledge gained
will enable us to produce quality designs. Excellent addition to our
consulting portfolio. Thank you for sharing your knowledge." A.
Rawji, PE, 2008
"All
things considered this was probably the most beneficial and productive
thing I have attended to date." LEED AP Participant, 2008
"This is just what I was looking for, and a real pleasure." Participant, 2008
"This
is the best investment and time I've made since attending college (33
yrs ago). Instructors clearly are highly competent and present an
excellent product...Also, material is presented in a manner that
instills excitement and student attention. I am really happy with the
product." J. Lovett, BSEE, 2008
"Thank
you for an outstanding presentation of the course. I now have a better
understanding of the PV system and different equipment required for
designing the system." Participant 2008
"This course has been a great learning
experience. The layout and order of topics is well thought out." Participant 2008.
"Excellent course!" "Great class" -
Multiple Participants, 2007 & 2008.
"Thank
you for holding this timely workshop. Your integrity shines though and
it's great to see your enthusiasm and knowledge of the industry."
Participant 2007 "I recently realized I was a ways
away from knowing everything I needed to know about designing commercial solar systems in California.
With this revelation in mind, I took Jack and Christina's workshop on
designing solar systems. I cannot recommend this course highly
enough. There is tremendous demand for solar system design--and not
very many pv system designers available--so design standards are not as
rigorous as I would like... Jack and Christina were a pleasure to
learn from, and the class was an ecumenical mix of contractors,
engineers, and solar industry professionals. If you need to know more
about designing commercially scaled pv, I recommend this as a very good
way to spend three days in San Francisco." - Ted Horton, NorCalPV, Aug 2007 "Very
engaging instructors. Highly attentive to all of the students yet felt
like I was the only one being addressed." - Participant 2007 "Great class - well worth my time. Well presented and balanced. Thanks so much for the new
smarts." - Participant 2007 "Thanks for stepping up to the plate to offer this much needed training." - Participant
2007
