What the day actually looks like
- Survey a roof: pitch, orientation, shading, structure
- Work out the tilt and yield, and whether frames are worth it
- Size the array against what the household actually uses
- Install, wire and commission the system
- Explain the numbers to a customer who read something online
The school topics it actually uses
These are not adjacent or vaguely related. They are the specific topics the job uses on an ordinary day.
How people get in
Short vendor and electrical-safety training, then on-the-job. Electrical licensing is required for the wiring side in most places, and that pathway starts as an apprenticeship, not a degree.
What it pays
Trades rates plus commission on installs; experienced installers often subcontract independently.
Demand
Expanding quickly across the region as solar costs fall.
