TRAIN AS A SOLAR PV INSTALLER

AT NAKED SOLAR’S PLANET MAINTENANCE ACADEMY

Naked Solar has launched the UK’s first comprehensive Solar PV Installers course aimed at dedicated people who want to make a difference in one of the fastest growing industries in the world. This course is approved by NOCN as an industry-standard short course, designed by the team at Naked Solar.

Previous experience is great but is absolutely not necessary. We have people from all walks of life upskilling into this fantastic profession. 

At the Planet Maintenance Academy, you’ll learn everything there is to know about how to install solar panels – properly. We do things the right way here, which is why we’ve been voted UK’s Best Solar Panel Installer twice in the past 7 years.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Initially, you’ll join us for an intensive three-day or five-day course. The course is designed to give you an insight into Naked Solar and the work the install team do on customers’ roofs. It’s an opportunity to see if a solar career is the right fit for you.

Day 1

You’re straight up onto the Naked Solar in-house training roof and learning the practical skills needed to become a competent Solar Labourer. These include: manual handling awareness; loading and unloading the vans safely and effectively; and loading out the scaffold with products and equipment ready for install. In this first day you’ll quickly develop an understanding of how to work smoothly and efficiently with the team.

Days 2 & 3

Next you’ll learn the specific skills needed to install panels on a slate roof, such as: understanding the importance of measuring out panel arrays; how to carefully remove tiles; and the correct way to fit mounting gear, cut tiles and replace ready for the panels to be installed.

Days 4 & 5 (optional)

You’re out on a real job! Join the install team as a labourer helping set up the site and assisting where necessary installing the mounting gear. This is the chance to get a feel for a real installation.
