Solar Energy Installation Managers

Unions and Associations

Solar energy installation managers may be represented by union, especially those serving the electrical, plumbing, and roofing trades. Installation managers may belong to professional associations for access to education, certification, training, and other resources. These associations include the American Solar Energy Society, Solar Energy Industries Association, and The Solar Foundation. Other renewable energy industry associations of note are the Interstate Renewable Energy Council and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.

Photovoltaic installation managers and installers have access to training and certification through the Electronics Technicians Association (https://eta-i.org) and the National Roofing Contractors’ Association (http://www.nrca.net); and NABCEP (https://www.nabcep.org).

There are many other professional associations for solar energy professionals. Check the Encyclopedia of Associations, which is published by Gale Cengage Learning, for associations in your field of interest. The publication is available in many community and school libraries.
