solar installation
How do I start my own solar panel installation business??
Should I go to school to become familiar with electricity to start with?
Yes. Doing an electrical engineering agree is essential is you want to understand, design and build the SP systems.
If your goal is just to start the business, handling only the business aspects of it, and getting engineers to design the systems and electricians to install it then it is OK to be without the technical knowledge (although it will always help you).
Installing the systems would probably require a wire-mans license (not sure if that is also the term used in the US) which means that it will need to be done by a professional electrician, as the solar panels are only one aspect of a system. The power generated by the solar panel has to be stored, conditioned (DC to AC conversion) and interfaced with the current power source of the home or business you are installing the system in.
I recommend that you do lots of research into this before diving head first into it.
Good luck.
