For those not necessarily interested in dealing in the more theoretical areas of solar technology, solar electricity training is likely to consist of the design, installation and repair of solar-based systems to provide electrical generation, heating, and the ability to heat water for use in private and commercial buildings. This training may not need a four year degree, but could, instead consist of a combination of solar electricity training that can last as little as a few weeks, plus hands-on experience gained through working on the job.
