Expand Your Business
Solar installation training can expand HVAC or electric contractor businesses with new revenue streams.
Turn a lackluster contracting business into a far more profitable one by quickly and easily becoming a licensed installer of photovoltaic (PV) electric systems. As a licensed electrician or HVAC expert, you already have the basic skills and tools required to do PV installations. The rest is mastery of the solar electric specifics: solar design and best practice solar system siting, calculating PV system sizing based on past and future usage, choosing the most efficient and cost effective PV module and inverter combination for each client, and appropriate racking and balance of system installation.
Solar Seminars is the educational arm of Bland Solar and Air, a very successful PV and HVAC company. We began teaching different renewable energy technologies in the 1980s: solar and ground source heat systems. HVAC distributors saw our success with photovoltaics and asked us to show their other dealers how to expand their existing HVAC businesses into solar electric sales and installations. Since 2007, we’ve trained over 850 HVAC dealers in solar photovoltaics.
We know this business, and we know you can be profitable.
We also know PV sales. Photovoltaic sales is perhaps the single most important skill we teach. We can show you how to sell successfully, just by having the knowledge needed to answer clients’ questions and by delivering a PV sales presentation chock-full of facts. We don’t teach ‘hard sales’; we just give you all the PV sales tools you need to be clear, honest, and factual – the incentives and return on investment will speak for themselves to your clients.
Our parent company, Bland Solar, has a 47% close rate from all electric solar system sales prospects. You can too.
We offer concise, targeted, three day classes in Installations and Sales Training only for licensed HVAC or electrical professionals. We cover what you need to successfully design, situate, install and sell solar PV to your clients. The course assumes you already have basic electrical knowledge and skills, are comfortable working on rooftops, etc.
All classes are taught by working professional who bring real-world photovoltaics experience into the classroom. Two days are hands on with constructing PV systems; one day focuses on PV sales. Students will also have access to our online reference materials covering basic electricity and photovoltaic theory for their own personal review.
Our HVAC to PV solar classes are offered directly through Solar Seminars as well as through key HVAC distributor partners around the US. Many distributors have found that providing their dealers with the knowledge and product to sell and install solar PV systems has greatly benefited their own bottom lines. Check our Seminar Schedule to see if one of your distributors is sponsoring a seminar, or contact them directly to request them to do so.
For professional tradesmen who have already completed our courses, we offer an additional service: help with your first installation. On the Job Mentoring is chosen by a few pros to make sure that they – and their co-workers – are super efficient and professional beginning with their very first job.
