Advancement Prospects
Solar energy installation managers advance by gaining a reputation for their expertise in their field. This helps them to increase the number of solar projects they work on and expand their customer base. Those that work for installation companies may advance to become senior managers, handling a greater number of solar projects and managing more staff members. They may leave full-time positions to start their own solar energy installation businesses. They may also go back to school for an advanced degree and they may also get certification in specialized areas of solar energy and project management.
