Arizona's first School for the Certification of the Installation of Solar Panels

Dear Members,
A general contractor and I, are going to create a certification school, the first in Arizona, to teach everything needed so you can install solar panels in the state of Arizona. Upon completion, you will be accredited with Certification, to install panels for Solar Equipment Companies, to start your own business provided you meet the state of Arizona's guidelines as a contractor but you will have our Certification that you have meet our strict school guidelines, in knowing every aspect of solar panels, hardware, mounting, installation, integration and preparing a system ready for which ever county inspector you are in.

Please, contact me, a Member of this Group, Mark G. Cooper, marksman954@aol.com and I will then be able to notify you when we have the class ready, the location ready and our States backing for proper legitimate Certification.

Thank you
Mark G. Cooper

It is a sixteen week course and is all about preparing us for State certification. It is the first time they have offered the course. I am interested in all forms of alternative energy, and glad to see someone getting in on the ground floor of the education process.; ▶ Reply to This

I will say, that this individual which is a general contractor, has been to some school and got certified, in California. Until your email, I was unaware of a community college which was offering this course. I am wondering if there is a parrallel course being offered in Maricopa Community College District or any where up here in Phoenix. The company this general is working for is www.power-save.com, they are looking to hire, installation techs, should you want to touch base with him, his email is brandon.power-save@live.com .

Thank you for writing me,

There is no point going on about having solar panals etc without properly trained engineers to do the job. I support education and good training.; ▶ Reply to This
