Certified Solar Installer Training
The two-day course is a blend of classroom discussion and hands-on installation experience on simulated rooftops at the Sharp Training Centers. You'll follow a typical solar installation step-by-step from specification to completion, and receive a technical manual that will serve as a highly effective field reference. You'll be able to put your new skills to work immediately for residential grid-tie installations. Sessions, dates and locations will be announced periodically. State-licensed contractors who complete the course and pass Sharp's comprehensive exam will receive formal certification for installations. Non-licensed individuals may enroll but will not be formally certified.
