Finding a Solution
Finding a Solution
Presently I am curiousabout this letter. I am convinced that it is being produced by big money IBEW backing and I respect it's intent. I am non union and believe ther is a place for all of us in our profession. There is enough work to go around,especially now with the green movement. Having said that, i now am thrust into the malaise of who get's the PV work? It seems to me that we move with co-operation at the onset between these two sides to make sure we include those that persevered and made the PV industry is what is today and responsible for its acceptance as a valid sourse of energy and applicability. AND yes we that have our profession should get as much respect for our craft. training, and knowledge.
Enough said. i recommend this: Get out there, get the training, Insist that it is available. Second go to alternative energy fairs, join energy co-ops. Network! I did just that this weekend, I got 5 new clients, and get this, One of the top Solar installers in my valley wants to take me on to become an eventual partner. He Will teach me all he knows, I get paid while I do, and we both help each other out. We will be installing the whole system together start to finish. He respects the intent of the new laws and is willing to move forward with someone that wants to co--operate and ideally make his 30 years of investment and profession continue to be successful. Remember we all have pride in what we do best!
Respectfully, Richard Adams
