Catalog Description

The Solar Installers Certificate program is designed to quickly prepare students for jobs installing solar panels in the solar industry. Our focus is to blend the academic rigor of the classroom, with the hands on training that entry level solar installers need to be successful in the industry.

The certificate is a fast paced blend of our introductory course for the construction industry, OSHA 10 Hour Safety certification, and two courses in solar photovoltaics, that culminate with national certification exam preparation and job placement assistance.
