Installations are never one-size-fits-all, and training for solar contractors should be equally diverse
CLEVELAND--Solar Power World and solar roof-mount attachment provider S-5! today announced ‘SOMO, the first training conference dedicated solely to the art and science of mounting rooftop and ground solar, August 16-18 at Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
