Would you define the terms, I am not sure what a classroom electrician or
mechanic is. Sounds like a class room backhoe operator.

Our 5 man company is all field trained mechanics and electricians.

Hi gang

I was wondering, what percentage do you believe represents the ratio of
classroom training to field training for PV and what percentage you believe
should be performed by licensed electricians vs what is deemed mechanical
work?

Residential Grid Tie w/out batteries
___% classroom- electrician
___% field- electrician

Residential Grid Tie w/out batteries
___% classroom- mechanical
___% field- mechanical

Commercial Grid Tie w/out batteries
___% classroom-electrician
___% field-electrician

Commercial Grid Tie w/out batteries
___% classroom-mechanical
___% field-mechanical

Residential GT with batteries
____% classroom-electrician
____% field-electrician

Residential GT with batteries
____% classroom-mechanical
____% field-mechanical

Any takers on the off grid market percentages?

Commercial w/ batteries is utility scale and I don't think it can be
quantified today as the projects are generally design build and perhaps hard
to put an exact # on these.

Thanks

Keith
