Recruiting in Renewable Energy, we speak with candidates all over the country on a daily basis. It brings some interesting insights into where the industry currently stands. What has become more and more apparent over the past 12-18 months and particularly coming into 2024 is the amount of skilled people wanting to cross train and who now see their future in renewables. Particularly Engineers. We've been speaking with Heating Engineers, Electricians, Plumbers and many other trades for over 10 years (collectively). We used to speak to Heating Engineers and they'd say they didn't see the future in Heat Pumps. We'd speak to Electricians who had dabbled in Solar when the tarriff's were high but had gone back to 'standard' Electrical work after. Now we speak to Heating Engineers who genuinely can't wait to upskill on Heat Pumps, Electrician's training up on Solar PV & EV Charging and many more similar conversations. A cynical person may think they are just going where the money is... perhaps that is the case for some. From the conversations we've had, people are excited to move towards renewables as its a new challenge, others are conscious that the job they do on a day to day basis will have a positive impact on our future. Its great for companies working in the industry as their business can grow. It can only be a better thing for past, present and future customers as there will be even more qualified individuals specialising in installing, servicing, maintaining and repairing green energy systems. Its great for us recruiters as our candidate pool grows. But regardless of us and our jobs... it can only be a good thing for Renewable Energy industry as a whole! The future is bright! #renewableenergy #renewables #recruitment #recruiting #heatpumps #solar #EV

This article discusses the 5 important benefits of installing solar panel systems & emphasizes the aspect of hiring a qualified electrician.

A Golden Age for Electrical Power Engineers We are in a golden age of Electrical power engineering. Around the world, there is a push to generate more power as populations grow and cities expand.

Aspiring California Solar Techs & Electricians - New Opportunity Alert: With CA's increased project limit to $1,000 (up from $500), there's a growing market in solar O&M services that you can tap into, even as your side hustle. Many existing systems need maintenance due to bankrupt companies or abandoned installations. Current Market Rates: $400-600 for typical 2-hour service calls Common Issues: • Arc/Ground Faults • Loose connections • Bad breakers • Defective inverters/micro-inverters Pro Tip: RMA warranty claims on faulty inverters guarantee a second service visit since manufacturers ship replacements directly to customers after you have submitted an RMA Claim - meaning you'll need to return for installation. Smart strategy: Keep micro-inverters, breakers, and basic accessories on hand for immediate fixes to avoid multiple trips but charge a premium for on the spot correction/fixes. Remember to work within regulations while building your solar maintenance business/Side Hustle. The O&M sector has plenty of room for skilled technicians who can provide reliable service. #SolarTech #CaliforniaEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SideHustle #SolarMaintenance
