In all honestly Prakash, how is this event and similar ones posted on this Aquaponic Forum helpful. I do not believe that we need to become Solar PV experts and attend 5 day courses...
You would really provide this Aquaponic Community a great resourse if you could share "KISS"... (for you)...Keep it Solar Simple.
With your vast knowledge, could you please just let Community members know of a low cost "plug & play" Solar PV system that can generate enough power to run a small pond pump and air pump...see attached example (no way meant to be a recommendation of this or the selling site)...http://www.amazon.com/HQRP-Monocrystalline-Controller-Regulator-Coa...
I certainly would be willing to view any installation videos and see examples of working models as it relates to Aquaponics. Other than this, I do not see the use posting these 5 day Solar PV Events here on this Aquaponic Community Forum, I believe you need to target a different audience.
