Obviously this is a terrific discussion board for solar energy. I was wondering if there are other important forums geared toward solar energy professionals (installers/dealers).

I am looking forward to learning and contributing here, but I just want to make sure I am not missing anything else.

    I think Home Power Magazine has a mailing list for pro's.

    RE-Wrenches.

    They are for pro-pros, and mostly geared towards people who get dirty.

    Hey I don't get dirty. Ok maybe I do now that I think about it.

    RE Wrenches is for professional installers and you have to apply to join. There can only be one person from your company on the list.

    The key word is "installers". I have installers for clients, so I don't qualify because I don't turn a wrench on a regular basis.

    I do submit posts from time to time if it's something where none of the wrenches on the list have the answer, or there's something I can contribute. It's a fantastic resource with much more signal to noise, so I'm not upset. I'd hate to see it filled up with "How do I make my own panels?" and "How do I configure my charge controller / inverter / battery monitor?" questions.
