In an attempt to make myself more valuable, I have enrolled in our community college's first solar / wind power class ever offered.
I had to talk with the instructor in order to get my pre-requisites waived and he sounded like a great guy. He is an EE and is involved with a company that is currently doing installations.
Our state is a license state and has an apprentice to journeyman ratio now in effect. I may be the only journeyman in the class. I hope not as I think this will be a huge part of our trade in the not so distant future.
Can anyone offer me some advice on how to get the most out of this class? Also, will I really be more employable after passing the class? How marketable are skills in designing and installing grid tie solar and wind systems?
Thanks to all,
Marky
