How do one become a solar panel installer? You need to be trained. Training is not so difficult and generally takes a few years. There is no college involved, it is a trade school. If you have a background in pool heater installation or the like than the certification may take even less time.

If you are willing to learn this valuable trade, it could be a worth while long term job.
