Greg Smith Battery Powered Home and NABCEP ESIP

In this episode of Sean White's Solar and Energy storage podcast, I'm excited to welcome back my long-time friend and industry expert, Greg Smith. We dive into his book, The Battery Powered Home, and explore the NABCEP ESIP certification, along with a wide range of topics in solar and energy storage technologies. Greg shares some valuable insights from his experiences during the peak of the lockdown and his work with companies like SMA, Sonnen, and Tigo. We also talked about practical tips for new installers, the importance of reading manuals, and share some funny stories from our careers.
