Good. Licensed electricians and contractors are the ones who should be

doing the work. I thought you only had a hard-on against college

educated individuals, but I see you have no use for those who spend

years learning a trade and being responsible for their work.

Careful now, you are in over your depth again.

They do sell O/L listed, plug and play solar collectors

(Westinghouse/Akeena is one)

These come with a NEMA 5-15 plug, you just mount the collector on any

surface that faces the sun and plug it in to a handy receptacle.

Why would you need an electrician or solar contractor for that?

At trade shows we have to hire the union guys to PLUG IN THE BOOTH LIGHTS AND EQUIPMENT. It's against union rules for us (electronic engineers) to plug in AC power cords ourselves.

This kind of BS is exactly why Detroit is bankrupt, and there is no manufacturing in the US anymore.

Well, that's to make sure the little rich kids who drank their way
through school don't really have to do anything to earn a living...
