How do you build a Solar PV Installation Team from scratch? This year I have successfully helped a growing renewable energy business do just that. It was a new venture for this client who had experience installing other renewable products. Despite this they wanted to get it right from the outset, here are some of the things I did to help this process: 🌞 Market research to establish how benchmarked competitors structured their teams. 🌞 Salary & Benefits Survey for management and installation teams. 🌞 Assessment of the existing team to understand who had relevant experience to assist in the new Solar PV division. 🌞 Conducted a search for the right management people to build the division. 🌞 Search for key engineering and installation leaders. 🌞 Search for potential sub-contractors. 🌞 Building an internal recruitment process for sourcing Solar PV Electricians and Roofers. If you think that any of these services would be beneficial to your business, or if you are looking at building an install division for a new renewable product I would be happy to discuss this with you and provide the benefit of my experience. Please do get in contact if you want to talk. #solapv #recruitment #solar #renewableenergy #renewables #rooftopsolar #solarenergy #solarpanels #executivesearch #recruiter

We need a large number of electricians for a smooth transition to renewables. Most engineers could be upskilled to gain a small scale renewable energy installer and designer accreditation. we need tens of thousands of licenced electricians who can install and maintain rooftop solar, EV chargers, hot water system. In many cases the job requires the additional wiring to integrate all of the above minimise the emissions and carbon footprint of the home, office or small business. Often this is a process of continuous improvement after observing energy production and consumption data. There are tens of thousands of engineers and science graduates who could be offered for free (because society needs it) the necessary practical,regulatory and theoretical upgrade by a well targetted course. Why engineers and science graduates is obvious, as they have the necessary education to efficiently and safely absorb the densely packed condensed information. It's like a academic prerequisite. Without such a boost to numbers of appropriately skilled licenced electricians the dream of "electrify everything" and converting the inevitable EV asset into a massive storage to firm rooftop solar and utility wind/solar will remain a difficult target. Education is the best resource for efficient transition to renewables let's do it by retraining and licencing engineers and science graduates. I write this part in frustration as I try to find a licensed electrician to get a smart EV charger installed, which will use a current transformer to reduce charging rate when a cloud shades the PV panels but allows effective use of a new night EV ultra low tariff between midnight and 6am. #transition #renewables #solarpv #solar #pv #energy #technology #electricvehicles #energystorage #storage #innovation

Why roofers and electricians should be getting into the solar industry! It’s no secret that the demand for solar energy has risen in response to the rising electricity bills. So here are a few reasons to get into the solar industry as an electrician or roofer. - You already have the skills & knowledge: By adding solar panel installations, you can broaden your expertise and tap into the rapidly growing renewable energy sector. This would lead to new business opportunities, making you more competitive in the market - Solar is in high demand: As the price of energy continues to rise, the need to become self-sufficient is paramount for consumers, so it makes sense for you to enter the market and meet this need. - Value-added service for customers: Offering solar panel installation as an additional service allows you to provide greater value to your customers. Many homeowners and businesses are interested in solar energy but may lack the knowledge or resources to find reliable installers. - Environmental Impact and Sustainability: By promoting the installation of solar panels, you as a roofer or electrician contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. Solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels, mitigates greenhouse gas emissions, and helps combat climate change. Roofers who embrace solar panel installation can actively participate in this positive environmental impact. At Nationwide Renewables, we are on the lookout for electricians and roofers to join our team.

The exponential growth of the solar industry, as evidenced by the projected 51% increase in solar photovoltaic (PV) installer jobs between 2019 and 2029, is undoubtedly a positive development for renewable energy adoption. However, this rapid expansion also highlights the critical need for comprehensive education and training programs to keep pace with the industry's growth. As the statistics reveal, a significant number of solar PV installers have been injured on the job, with a majority of those injured having only 1-5 years of experience. This trend underscores the importance of prioritizing safety training and education for both new and experienced installers. Without adequate training and education, the solar industry risks seeing a rise in poor quality installations and a growing number of injuries. This not only poses a threat to the well-being of solar professionals but also undermines the public's trust in the industry and hinders the widespread adoption of solar energy. To build a safer future for the solar industry, we must focus on three key areas: Education: Developing and promoting comprehensive educational programs that cover best practices, industry standards, and emerging technologies. Training: Implementing hands-on, practical training sessions to ensure solar installers are well-equipped to handle the challenges and risks associated with their work. Safety Equipment: Encouraging the adoption of appropriate safety equipment and protocols to minimize the risk of injuries on the job. By investing in these critical areas, we can foster a culture of safety and professionalism within the solar industry. This, in turn, will help attract top talent, boost consumer confidence, and support the sustainable growth of the sector. At PVSTOP, we are committed to promoting education, training, and safety in the solar industry. We believe that by working together, we can create a brighter, safer future for all. #SolarSafety #Education #Training #SustainableGrowth #PVStop
