Testimonial: Barry Butler
Owner, Butler Sun Solutions Chair, ASES Solar Thermal Division
"I have participated in the solar hot water educational seminar put on by Silicon Solar, taught by Todd Patermoster. Todd did an excellent job at covering the types of collectors, heat exchangers and systems that are currently marketed. This was a very even handed educational seminar for the installers/dealers who are interested in becoming part of the growing solar hot water business. It was not a high pressure marketing seminar pushing their products. I would recommend this seminar for those who want to become solar installers or dealers. It does not cover all you need, but is a very good start."
