The career path of a solar project manager depends on the scale of the project you are interested in managing. For those who oversee smaller jobs, such as home or small commercial installations, a background as a contractor and several years of experience installing solar systems may be sufficient to find work as a project manager. Larger projects deal with much greater amounts of energy, typically megawatts as opposed to kilowatts, so you must have experience working on projects in the MW range to manage those jobs. However, working your way up to a solar project manager for small projects could open up opportunities with larger jobs.
