Where is the best place to get an education/experience and job in the installation of solar panels? ?

We Answered:

With the economy as it is, it may be difficult to find a job in this sector. There is a surplus of solar panels and companies are hurting.

That doesn't mean that people aren't interested. I think it is a great time to market these products. Everyone is interested in energy conservation and reducing costs.

You could consider opening your own company, but a little differently. There are many different manuals out there telling you how to make your own solar panels and wind turbines. See http://www.makerenewableenergy.blogspot.… for a review of a bunch of these.

If you could produce and install these, at a much lower cost, it would be a viable business opportunity. You could be helping satisfied customers who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it and you would be working in your choice of careers. It wouldn't cost much to produce these and you could require a large percentage upfront.

Anyway, another avenue to explore. Good luck!

Note: This is just a partial list. However, a brand does not really matter for solar or wind power. Most of them comes after the testing done by the government. Also if you can find local electrician to suggest how to get second hand panels for your house would be even better...

Is it in demand to be an Solar Panels installer at Canada?

We Answered:

Interest is building, and a few panels are appearing, but the market is nowhere near saturated yet.

I'm assuming you are refeirng to electrical panels (silicon), not water heater panels (black pipes on roof)
