Understanding How to Become a Solar Installer

Becoming a solar installer involves a combination of education, certification, and on-the-job training. Here are the steps you can take to pursue a career as a solar installer:

Graduate from high school:Many companies require a high school diploma or equivalent education level. Focus on developing technical skills and consider taking technical electives or joining relevant clubs to gain hands-on experience and transferrable skills.

Enroll in a post-secondary institution: Consider applying to community colleges or vocational institutes that offer programs in solar installation. These programs provide training in the safe use of specialized tools, system design, and photovoltaics (PVs). Online classes may also be an option, and if you have prior experience in construction or as an electrician, it can be an advantage. Electrician apprenticeship programs are also valuable, as they allow you to connect PV systems to the electrical grid.

Obtain certifications: Consider participating in a certification program offered by organizations such as the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). This certification demonstrates your expertise in solar panel installation and enhances your credibility in the industry. Check the requirements in your province to ensure you meet the necessary qualifications. Additionally, you may consider certifications in construction safety or specialized credentials like the Certified Solar Roofing Professional.

Advance your skills with on-the-job training: Most of the learning in solar installation happens through on-the-job training. This training typically lasts around one year and teaches you the practical aspects of installing solar panels, proper equipment usage, adherence to safety regulations, and specific product installation techniques. Manufacturers may provide training for their particular products, and larger construction contract organizations may offer more comprehensive training opportunities.
