Sharp Solar.

The Sharp Solar SRS arrives ready to install from the factory and we provide the most comprehensive training in the industry. The full 2-day course is required for all new installers of Sharp Solar residential grid-tied systems. State licensed contractors who complete the course and pass Sharp's comprehensive exam will receive formal certification for installations under warranty. Others may enroll but will not be certified.

 

Why does Sharp require Solar Installation training?
Proper installation of Sharp Solar electric systems requires a thorough understanding of solar principles, components, capabilities, and practical considerations like wiring and mounting hardware. In order to maintain high standards of product performance, safety and customer satisfaction, we train and certify contractors in all these areas before they may become part of Sharp's elite installation network.
