Wish we were going to be in a Texas by March! This sounds like so much fun! This is a great idea ❤️
Will do!
What location?
Hi Frank. The posting says “Grandbury, TX. We’ll give specific location once you send in an RSVP.
I sent an email looking for more information.
It’s not come through yet, but we’ll answer emails this evening. Thank you.
Will you be doing any other weekends like the one in march? We are interested but cannot do the 16th of march
We will definitely be doing more meet ups like this. They aren’t scheduled yet, but follow along, and we’ll be announcing more dates and locations. Thank you!
What a great lineup of topics. I’m sure it will be helpful to a lot of people. Good luck.
Thank you for your comment. Our goal is help people understand the basics so they can either design their own system or know what they are buying from an installer.
I would love to be a part of this meet-up with all of you, but I can’t leave my Mother unattended for more than a few hours and Texas is a bit of a hoof from Tucson LOL. “All in good time” is a phrase that I have running through my mind all the time. I know that whoever shows up will have a great time ! Would it be possible to set up a camera to video some of this? I know it would be difficult, but a little ‘something’ for those of us that can’t be there would be awesome. Cheers mate !
We are going to try to do more like it as we travel the country. We may be coming to an area near you. Stay tuned.
Wish we were in the Area, would love to attend and learn about putting Solar on my Jayco North Point. Going Full-time in October and getting out of New England winters.
Well, stay tuned because this is just the start.
