solar panel technician
Any information on training for green technician or installation jobs (like solar panels) in the US??
This is crazy! I’m trying to find information on becoming certified to install solar panels, or some other green career that will obviously be increasing in demand, but that doesn’t take the level of education of a scientist or engineer. Everything I am finding is from the UK! Are we really that far behind the times here in the US? I would have thought this field would be booming by now. But maybe I’m just not looking in the right place. Can anyone help me?
I’m actually looking more along the lines of on the job training/technical training . . . not so much a 4-year degree. Thanks!
contact the contractors in your area, and ask what they require as far as training goes for them to hire you.
don’t be afraid to ask what might seem to be dumb questions.
the more you ask, the more you learn.
if you have a Home Depot in your are, you might start with them, since they have just started going into the solar panel sales, and as yet are using outside contractors for their installation.
They could point you to contractors that they use. and these contractors might be needing help now.
for OJT you might have to start out as a helper, while you are learning.
