NABCEP and Job Security featuring Shawn O’Brien President and CEO of NABCEP

Shawn O’Brien is probably well known by most of our audience, since we talk more about technical PV and storage topics, than any podcast I know of. If you have even been to a solar conference in the USA, you probably have been in the presence of Shawn and Sean, perhaps both at the same time!   We are leading up to the NABCEP conference in Reno next week, the week of March 24th!
