student REVIEWS
Our students Love Us
A top notch, world class instructional course on everything solar related. I personally went into this class without knowing what a volt or an amp were, and now I have a complete, top to bottom, understanding of solar array technology. The instructor was great, the lunches were really good, and overall I really feel like I got a lot more from this course than expected when considering the cost and length of the course. I understand Stardust Solar intends to offer an advanced course, and possibly even a wind turbine course, down the road, both of which I fully intend to take. I cannot say enough good things about this course or company. Fully recommended.
