The solar industry has been growing at an exponential rate for some years now. Even with the current economic crisis, solar production received a greater amount of venture capitalists' investments than any other industry.

Solar power – the dream of renewable energy is realized; how far we go now is all up to the limits of current technology and our imagination… and training. There are many levels of training, from photovoltaic (PV) panel installation to research and development, and all will come in handy in the very near future.

Many people think of solar power as "harnessing the sun's energy". Many people believe that solar technology means new technology. The truth, however, is that people have been using solar power since the 7th century. The truth – new technology is always built on the foundations of old technology, using the glue of ambition and need.

Not long ago, "green jobs" may have brought to mind park rangers, environmental activists or "Save the Penguins". However, over the years, green has reached out and, like AT&T, touched just about every industry and position. One of the largest industries today is, of course, solar energy, and solar energy schools are helping make it happen.

While researching career opportunities, you'll come across several sites offering positions in the field of solar energy. The opportunities in this field are rising, putting solar schools in high demand. Why?

Solar power and "green" building has become a focus in the construction market for several reasons. With the steady climb of energy prices, along with a decline in the price of solar installations, solar living has become a topic of interest for more than those that live in rural areas, or those looking to save the environment. Solar energy has become a viable alternative energy source, and the rates of both commercial and home installations are rising dramatically.

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was signed into law, in an attempt to deal with the current U.S. financial crisis. While the Stabilization Act covers several areas it is historic legislation for the solar industry and those pushing for solar living in a greener world.

If you are looking to enter the field of solar panel installation, you would greatly benefit from being aware of the various training and certification requirements for the job.
