Solar Installer

The day-to-day work of a Solar Installer often varies because the bulk of the work takes place on different job sites. Solar Installers travel to homes or businesses where the installation takes place. They interact with the customers, explaining the installation process to them and ensuring they fully understand what the customer needs and wants. While on location, the Solar Installer takes measurements and considers unique features about the structure that could affect installation, such as the slope of the roof. Preparing the materials often includes cutting components for the brackets and securing the panels in place. They also waterproof the outside components to protect the equipment and the home. Once everything is in place, the Solar Installer connects it to the home’s electrical system and makes sure the equipment works correctly. Solar Installers also go back to perform maintenance and troubleshoot issues as needed on an existing solar installation.
