Military Veterans and America’s Solar Army

U.S. Veterans Training For Solar Installation Army
February 18, 2015 - U.S. military veterans are being urged to join the ranks of America’s solar army by signing up to a new Energy Department solar job training pilot program.

The initiative has been designed to help members transition from active service into new careers as installation specialists, electricians and sales consultants.

The program is part of the DoE’s SunShot Solar Instructor Training Network, which aims to add 50,000 photovoltaic installers, building inspectors and other solar workers to the industry by 2020.

Three military bases have answered the call through a SkillsBridge initiative, which offers no-cost training for serving personnel during their final six months of duty.

Trainees will be drilled in the sizing and installation of solar power systems and developing other related solar skills.

“As more homes and businesses across America choose solar power for their electricity needs, the solar industry is growing rapidly, and demand for highly skilled solar workers is on the rise,” said Minh Le, director, SunShot Initiative. read more>>>
