What is a solar laborer?

Solar laborers are workers who assist in the installation, maintenance, and repair of solar panel systems. Their tasks often include preparing job sites, unloading materials, assembling racking systems, and helping electricians with wiring and panel placement. They play a vital role in ensuring solar energy systems are set up efficiently and safely. Solar laborers typically work outdoors and may need to lift heavy equipment or work on rooftops.
