I have met Mr. Wiles and I know him to be intelligent, passionate and a
nice person.<br><br>
I do not always agree with Mr. Wiles' advice. He is widely read in
the industry, which is not always a good thing. I have had to waste
valuable time disabusing building officials of points of view they have
acquired from Mr. Wiles that I am convinced are just plain wrong.
His input has been good at times and bad at other times.<br><br>
I would not support funding with taxpayer dollars to continue his role in
the industry.<br><br>

I don’t know anyone in the industry, more authoritative and active in
educating installers than John. I’ve depended on his as the last word on
many, many issues. If his funding is in jeopardy, we collectively
would be negligent not to argue on his behalf.<br>

For what it's worth, I think supporting continued funding of John Wiles
is consistent with the intent of this list serve. It seems that part of
the mission of this list serve is the installation of NEC compliant solar
electric systems. Mr. Wiles has provided feedback to many, including me,
that has helped produce better installations. Having access to this type
of expertise is consistent with the Obama administration's support of
renewable energy technology.<br><br>

the road of advocacy, but I wanted to put in a plug for John
Wiles.<br><br>
<br><br>
The federal funding that has supported John’s time and availability to
the PV industry has been cut. I for one have relied on John as an
invaluable resource on numerous occasions and have sent a brief email to
his boss requesting that funding be restored.<br><br>
<br><br>
I respectfully request that you all consider doing the same.<br><br>
