Their duties often include handling tools, preparing materials, running wires, mounting panels, and ensuring the work area is safe and organized.

Familiarity with hand and power tools, multimeters, and solar installation equipment is typically required. Reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to follow instructions make candidates stand out in this support role. These skills ensure safe, efficient solar system installations and contribute to successful teamwork on job sites.
