Apprentices work under the supervision of experienced professionals, learning how to safely install, maintain, and repair solar energy systems. The program typically combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training, covering topics like electrical systems, safety protocols, and renewable energy technology.

Apprentices often support site preparation, help maintain equipment, and participate in on-the-job training to build foundational skills. Collaboration with electricians and site supervisors is common, providing hands-on experience and exposure to the full solar installation process.
