3 Solar Panel System Wiring Issues Resolved
Projects With Everyday Dave
@projectswithdaveAbout
I'm a Mechanical Engineer by trade, but I love DIY projects especially DIY solar projects. My family and I built our own energy efficient ICF home. In the process I got hooked on solar production, and now I'm constantly expanding my DIY home solar system and testing new solar technology. Sharing my experiences with you give me the opportunity to explore all kinds of new and interesting things. Thanks for watching!
