About the Program

Solar technician is a fast-growing career path. Students in this program will gain hands-on experience in a specially designed solar training lab intended to simulate true-to-life conditions in the field. Those who complete the program will be trained to assemble, set up, and maintain solar systems that convert sunlight into energy. Program completers will also be eligible to take the Solar Hands-On Installation Network of Excellence (SHINE) credential. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training is included in the course cost.
