Engr. Solomon Uche
Technical Administrator, RETTI Solar Panel Factory
I'm an expert solar panel designer and builder. My interest in electrical engineering and handson coupling of products started at a very young age with the love to design hand tools which prompted me to take my passion higher to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
My work experience has prepared me for a career as a solar technical project designer and educator. My rich experience as a site installer, solar energy facilitator at Abia State University Uturu Center for Entrepreneurship gave me a deep understanding of student management and market opportunities for solar power as a business. Having worked with ETPM Nigeria as a Battery Regeneration Technician, High Tech Center for Nigerian Women & Youths (NGO), SunKing solar and as a sales expert with Fenix International, My understanding of the solar components and opportunities for business has improved, giving me a first hand knowledge of teaching about this.
I was part of the pioneering team who set up the Physics and Solar Energy Department of the Gateway Polytechnic, Ogun State and was the expert who trained their trainers.
I currently works as a technical administrator for the Renewable Energy Technology Training Institute’s solar panel assembly factory. I also teach same at the institute.

Over the past two weeks, I've transformed from a complete novice to a professional in the photovoltaic field. Initially skeptical about the free training, I decided to give it a chance, and I’m glad I did. The training was highly effective, equipping me with knowledge in solar installation, design, as well as panel, battery, and charge controller sizing. I was able to get a gig to maintain client installation by refilling drain batteries with distilled water.

If there is another word above Excellent, Superb and so on I can use to qualify the service rendered by RETTI, I would have used it but trust me and quote me. In terms of respect, they are the best. They respect everyone. In terms of knowledge they impacted in me and my colleagues both soft skills and hard skills, they are the best. In terms of their trainers, they are the best. Practical aspects, you can't get it better anywhere other than them. In short, they are the best I have ever come in contact with because with few days training with them, I can call myself a Solar Photovoltaic System Engineer/Expert. Thank you RETTI God bless you.
