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, contacted 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 80 hour course. Upon completion you will have earned the most solar career relevant diploma in the county – A US Solar Institute Solar Specialist Certification and Diploma.
To become a qualified Florida solar contractor one must have a minimum of one year 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.
Regardless of the path chosen, our students must complete a minimum of 80 hours verified by the affiliation company official or US Solar Institute administrator or instructor. Although tuition is collected for this opportunity, all qualifying students will receive hourly payment for their time while enrolled in this course. (Minimum 80 hours, no maximum)
Note:
Many of our affiliate partnership corporations use this course as a skill set evaluation prior to full-time employment. Also, this serves the requirement for unemployment, veteran’s administration and other vocational grants.
