Go to school for it like any other career.
THIS IS TOTALLY COOL, WORKS JUST AS EXPECTED AND COLORS ARE COOL.
WATER RESISTANT AND LASTS FOR MOST OF THE NITE.
I gave this as a gift and the lady loved it, and made a point of telling me how bright, pretty and sturdy it was. It isn’t very big, but it sure is nice. If you like this, it is a great product.
Nice pastel…now my favorite solar light and I have quite a few
Amazing light, lasts all night. We put ours on a pipe. love the color changes.
I bought this item for my mother-in-law for Christmas. It was a nice extra something to give and very practical. When I received it I have to say, it was sort of cheap, being that it’s plastic and I had my doubts that it would even work. They have a pond and I seen it this summer place perfectly along with all the other beautiful landscaping. It changed colors at night and was very peaceful to watch and set the mood for a perfect summer night. I felt good about my purchase and was happy to see they were using it:)
Find some companies in your area that install solar panels and see if you can intern, apprentice or work for cheap.
Go to college, major in electrical engineering, minor in environmental studies or something similar.
You can enter this field as a “helper”, and get on-the-job training. If you get a Union paying job, you will need more experience, normally.
In meanwhile, best to take all the shop courses you can in high school, including woodwork, and electricity. Taking physics class, or some math classes will help you get ready to be a supervisor someday too.
Talk to both your shop teachers and school counselors for advice about Solar Energy jobs in your area.

i have seen a guy working in this field, and i am sure he never got proper schooling or has any certificate
but you need to learn how to join wires and which ones to join where,
making solar panels need rocket scientists, installing them does not need one
Start with this book, its the best intro to solar:

You can start here. I don’t know where you’re located but there are a lot of schools popping up.http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/ The Florida Solar Energy Center can help. Also you might want to contact these guys:http://www.nabcep.org/ The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. These places can guide you in your search. For what it’s worth I think you are making a great choice.
