Course description
Are you looking to start your own solar business? This course is for you. It provides mentorship, education & support for solar entrepreneurs at any stage.
This course was created and delivered by Kerim Baran, the founder of SolarAcademy and Brian Hayden, co-founder of HeatSpring. Kerim was co-founder at CivicSolar - a distribution business acquired by CED Greentech in 2019 - but he's built and sold a number of solar and technology businesses. Brian has taught entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship since 2013.
What you will learn in this course:
By the end of this course you will know the most important elements and key functions of a solar installation business: how to source leads, how to market and sell your services, how to design and permit a solar system, where to get your equipment, key aspects of the installation, construction and interconnection process with the utility, the various solar financing options available for your customers, what is involved in providing maintenance services for existing customers.
Electricians already have most of the qualifications needed to be solar installers, and this course will give you the rest to take the leap into the bright future of solar business. But even if you're not an electrician, or have a product-based business in mind we'd love to have you join us.
Solar professionals understand how the solar industry works but may not have experience starting and running companies. This course is also for you.
We host a monthly Zoom call on the third Wednesday of every month at 1pm eastern (USA). Enroll in the class before then and join us.
Designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs (or those considering becoming entrepreneurs) this course includes over 8 hours of on-demand video content as well as access to the instructors via phone (by appointment) and course discussion board (anytime).
