This first experience with harvesting the sun’s energy sparked an interest that has resulted in a career in renewable and distributed generation. Garrison has had many roles in the industry and has designed and overseen the installation of everything from remote off-grid projects to megawatt scale systems. Garrison enjoys learning all he can about PV installation best practices, safety, electrical code, and system design, and then sharing that knowledge with others.
