IDEAS For Us is teaming up with 15 Lightyears to educate the next generation of solar installers! We are offering FREE educational classes and events that offer exclusive certificates in solar energy. All courses are offered separately, you can achieve between 1 and 7 certificates based on your interests in the field. Six of the courses are offered online, and the final certificate will be given at an in person solar installation at Infinite Zion Farms in Orlando. The program will end in late May with a networking event involving participants and companies in the solar industry.
