photovoltaic
After completing a photovoltaic course, can you start working right away or do you need to do more?
What are the actual steps in working with solar panels? Also about how much is the total cost and time before you can work in this field?
If you pass the exams for a Solar Contractor’s license (I think it’s a C-10 license in California, could be wrong on that), and get a business license, insurance, you could start right away, I believe. Could be competitive finding customers.
If your’e just going to work for someone else, I’m not sure if there are any requirements, as long as you’re under the supervision of someone that has the right licenses. You may find that practice is different from theory taught in a course. For example, if you’re drilling a pilot hole for a screw to hold a mounting rack, what happens if you hit a nail? What do you do if the rafters aren’t exactly 24 inches apart, or the roof isn’t flat? What happens if there are no open spaces in the service panel?

Solar cell Photo Mugs
Solar cell. Close-up of the surface of a solar(photovoltaic) cell, which converts light intoelectrical energy. The cell is made from silicon(blue), a semi-conductor. Because the silicon is asemi-conductor, the energy of photons of light isenough to release electrons from the silicon. Theelectrons are collected through a grid of wires(yellow), forming an electrical current. This cellcontains numero... |
