Real world on the job solar installation, training, and experience is the most important part of your solar education. Only the US Solar Institute puts you into real world, fully permitted, contracted and engineered jobs as part of your solar training. You will help design, build, install, commission, program, and maintain photovoltaic power systems during this dynamic course. Upon completion you will have earned the most solar career relevant diploma in the country – A US Solar Institute Solar Specialist Certification and Diploma.

To become a qualified Florida solar contractor one must have a minimum of one year of on-the-job proven experience working in the solar installation and/or the solar construction industry. Many require one to be a solar panel installer, solar project manager or a solar energy superintendent working in the solar installation field prior to being eligible for licensure. We can help give you that experience.

In order to earn a NABCEP certified installer certificate one must have a minimum of two solar installations. At US Solar Institute and upon completing the prerequisites (PV-201 & 301) our students are eligible for a solar internship where we install real world systems where you will work on those two jobs and obtain that experience.

Also due to our vast affiliation agreements a US Solar Institute student is eligible for a solar externship for solar on the job training. US Solar Institute has affiliation relationships with several contractors, utility companies, manufacturing, engineering and governmental offices in need of qualified solar apprentices.  See class photos on our Facebook page!
