Learn a decision process for choosing, scoping and justifying a solar photovoltaic project. Our goal is to be sure that you’re going to leave our classes with valuable, actionable insights.For a typical residence, the cost of installing a one kilowatt solar photovoltaic system is between $6,000 and $10,000. Even with government incentives, the out-of-pocket expense is significant. This seminar will help you decide if a solar photovoltaic project is right for you:
  • Learn how to financially justify your solar project including the use of online resources;
