open4energy has great pleasure in welcoming Dan as a contributing author to our Solar Energy Forums, and particularly to his practical experience as a DIY solar enthusiast.

Dan and I met comparing notes on the damage being done to practical DIY solar projects, by the proliferation of DIY solar energy scams being promoted on the internet. We do urge our readers to be cautious in what they read on the internet. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! Dan describes himself on his web site Solar Man Dan as a guide to the world of DIY solar solar systems. His mission is to bring clarity to the often muddled solar cyber-world.

Dan has been a licensed contractor in the state of California since 1986. He has a NABCEP solar certificate and a degree in electronic technology. Dan is also a passionate DIY - do it your self-er.

Dan began writing his blog to help bring clarity and common sense to the DIY solar cyber world. It is our pleasure to join with him in extending the audience for his valuable experiences and insight.
