unlight is an ongoing supply and solar technicians help to convert this natural resource to electricity by installing solar panels on roofs or other types of structures, such as free-standing arrays. Because they are employed in solar power, much of their work occurs outside or even in an attic or crawl space of the place where they are installing solar panels. Exciting, right? As it turns out, one solar photovoltaic (PV) system is installed every four minutes in the U.S., and that number is expected to increase to one every one minute and 20 seconds by 2016 if the current pace of demand continues.

Do you want to learn how to become part of this growing field? Are you excited about the opportunity to work at a different job site and mostly outdoors in the sun? Read on in this solar technician training guide to discover more about the occupational opportunities and the various steps that you could take to gain entry into the field.

In addition to installing panels, solar technicians, also referred to as solar photovoltaic installers, may be responsible for assembling, maintaining or repairing panels on grids, and could work under the guidance of an engineer or advanced technician. Travelling is an important part of the job as work is typically done on a client’s site. Most work is done during regular full-time hours although some technicians may need to be available for emergencies during weekends of evenings.
