Customer Reviews
Simplified but great information
I met Tim in our Chint Power Systems Sales summit in InterSolar San Diego. Since then, I started listening his episodes. That keeps me updated of the market status and business opportunities from great guests on the broadcast. I highly recommend it and will fully support his show 👍!
Best Solar show
This is the best Solar podcast I’ve found and I tried many. I’m new to the industry but there’s a broad range of thoughtful information for newbies to very seasoned Solar pros. Loads of great guests and current news trends.
Great Show! Love learning from Tim!
I love listening to Tim and the Commercial Solar Guy enlighten the public about what exactly is going on. Listening to them makes them seem like they are my friends and on my level. Some podcasters think they are too important. These guys are real!
