Solar in 2011 is expected to double over 2010 with renewable energy the pile driver to new jobs. Simply put, solar in this country is on the verge of blowing up. There is no substitute for experience when it comes to solar system design, installer jobs and solar sales, but the right training is a good start.
Change has become the standard in this economy for organizations, people and sometimes, whole cities. Downsizing, subcontracting, merging and closures have created an environment of fear and uncertainty. Resiliency is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and work through conflicts and challenges without giving up.
A career path that assures long-term security is no longer a reality. You make your own job security by constantly furthering your education making yourself more valuable. That was true 30 years ago, and it is even more true today.
We receive a dozen applications a day for solar installers and solar sales and always it is the same recommendation. Get in contact with the “hands down top solar training school in America today”.

Shuttle service between the hotel and your solar training facility is provided and the hotel will even grocery shop for you with your list while you are away if you like. The only thing missing to make my temporary home complete during my solar training was the Irish Redhead that I was married too.

“One door closes, another door opens. It is all about action. When something ends, a job, a relationship, one’s good health, you just don’t stand by and wait for something good to happen. You can’t depend on luck or anybody else to pull you out of the situation. You must use your own efforts to push a new door open, kick it open if you have to, using that setback as an inspiration to move ahead and make a new beginning for yourself.” — Arthur Pine
