#SolarInstaller #DayInTheLife
Just took my tests to start my vocational training for Solar Panel installer, I've changed my career choice from being a Freight Manager at Dollar Tree to , Green Energy. I hope this offers great success.
how has the transition been?
How did you get it and has it paid off??
Switch to solar means switch to future
Construction is better than residential. Residential is slave work with high personal risk. At least in construction you will get paid more and on the ground.
Tha is just seeing if this job is for me and it looks aight. Thanks
Yes 🙌
I thought maybe. But then I saw that ladder. Hell naw
Ahahaha can't be scared of heights
Don’t be scared life aint shit with out risks
Great job great career and a booming industry. I start in 2 weeks at a pretty big company I left an office job, took a little less money but it’s ok I rather be happy at work then miserable
How did you transition from office job to solar? Did you apply for an entry job or went to school for it?
Are you working in California? How do you bare that hot ass sun, I recently turned down a solar installation job.
@@OmarC951 No man went on indeed and got hired. I was in the laborers union for 5 years so I’ve done blue collar work but they hired me with no experience. Been there almost 2 months now I love it
@@justinl909 I’m in NY on Long Island man it’s not bad, I heard summers are awful though, im not looking forward to it
@@mikeggg1979 got it 👍
Took me one (1 person) day to installed 9k system for my house. Conduits in the attic too.
Just got my first solar installer job! Start training tomorrow
Congratulations 🍾🎉
How do you like it so far, would love to ask you questions any social media I can message you on?
Panel pay??
PV ground bracket +Easy and fast installation without punch holes. Match 980mm-1134mm width solar module.
I just got a job and i start in a few weeks. My wife is worried about falls and the danger. Can anyone elaborate on how dangerous this is and risk of falls even if you are taking proper saftey seriously?
How’s it been
Just get new boots. New grip is very important and an couchen sponge been an roofer since 16 im 19 now might start solar installing
Need to learn that
Any Idea about aprentiship here in New York state
Thank u
I want to do this, but not as a full time job ,_, need to get my certificate first though.
What is that second ladder that you used to bring up the panels we’ve been manually carrying them
Great install btw
Did you guys use micrinverter or optimizers? How about battery? Thanks
one obvious mistake I can see with this video, they started with the bottom row, should if started with the upper row to allow for better movement
Definitely not
My crew would have finished this job in 4 1/2 hours easy money
Do you do the installment???
Good job bro we get paid by the hour not by how fast you do it . Take that in consideration that’s does not mean slack off or be lazy be effective and get it gone .
Eduardo Rodriguez hell yeah it’s all about hours unless you get paid my the kilowatts
@@josedamianmeza479 some people get bonuses for finishing the job early
Guys please, where can I find a good training to become installer and get hired?
Thank you
Is there a union for solar technicians?
Mostvare not
Do you need your e.t. card or be a journeyman to do this?
I got my ET card and I’m an installer. It’s recommended not required. They prefer roof/construction experience . Sometimes no experience Is fine. That’s how I started . Installer 1 , worked up to a roof lead in less than a year
Hi Sir I’m working here in Japan with solar different companies I like to work with you can you give me a job in your company…?
I’m a female looking to get into a trade … what do you recommend? I 4’11 petite but I’m a hard worker 😩
It's not really suitable work for women
@@Prez-B I’m an apprentice now 🙂
@@sohd2283how is it
How much you getting paid per panel?
Where did you find the panel lift?
I have an opportunity to do this. Told them I’d get back to them and I’d think about it. The job looks daunting. I’m smart but watching this makes me feel dumb.
Sir, have any job in your installation team work I have some experience in solar installation work
anyone know what roof anchors they use for fall protection?

Cool vid man! You know I've been doing solar installations for over 5 years. I freaking love it. But there's alot of issues I've encounter with installs planning that make it so hard to be efficient. My main concern is we're always getting blamed for being over budget on time but we always get wrong measurements on plans and missing material.I have voiced my opinion and been shutdown multiple times.Any advise?
Jason these are all valid concerns, & in my experience if you have wrong measurements on plans thats mostly because the site visit tech who did the preliminary analysis took the wrong measurements then he feeds that to the engineer & now everything is off. its a big problem & leads to a lot of frustration for a crew.
I want to ask you if your partner helps you carrying the solar panel since this video does it show it
how does one get into this business? specific training/knowledge?
Try getting into roofing first or having some electrical expierence(start warehouse manufacturing) or if not constrution experience will do
Apply to solar company start as a ground guy, pick everybody’s brain
Electrical, Carpentry, Construction and oil/gas field is most sought after!
I got on by applying, with 0 experience in eletrical and roofing. Its super easy work anyone can do it
@@shurtzryan85 same no exp no school just on job training and if u wanna further ur knowledge u can go to school and get certified!
Give your life to christ before it is too late and he will forgive you of all of your sins if you repent 🙏 🙏 🙏. By praying this prayer if you want but if you don't want to I understand. Father I come into your presence today believing that you sent your son to die on the cross for my sins amd rose again from the dead three days later and I want to your will to be done in my life in Jesus name amen 🙏. 🙏 🙏 and welcome to the family 🎊 🎊 🎊 and God bless everyone reading this ✝️❤❤. 😊 and God,Jesus,Holy Spirt, and I love you and have a great and blessed day.
God bless you!
God bless you
awesome video, thanks for sharing
thank you for checking it out :)
Awesome video
Reducing the global greenhouse emissions 1 house at a time.
Too little too late...
Do you know how much chemicals they used before produce solar cells?
womp womp@@movement2contact
Whats that panel lift called that you used its awesome
my future job
Penato it is a great job call us if you have any questions, have a great day.
SunPower by New York State Solar Farm what kind of training do you need to become a solar installer?
certainly earn their crust on that steep pitch roof!
Didn't even finish? Come on ! PS I'm a Roof Lead
good stuff Ruben thanks for watching keep on installing we are all counting on you.
looks hard
what a boring job
I’ve done commercial and resi electrical, drywall, insulation, chimneys, military, window installations. This is by far my favorite job. It’s easy and it pays well. I don’t really like how this video shows it though
@@cjswhitebo1882 what’s the best knee pads you recommended especially for someone with bad knees
Weak! Panel lifts are slow! I can carry 4 mission 60 cell panels up a ladder at one time. You boys need to come to Texas so I can teach y'all some hustle! And what are those ridiculous suspenders you're wearing???
Albert De Castro Have fun being unemployed at 50 because your body gave out
OSHA prohibits your method. Please don’t encourage people to use unsafe work methods.
You are ignorant... the fastest/toughest way isnt always the best, and is rarely the safest... i was in the oil/gas field... there are times that call for using brute force, then other that call for serious caution/safety precautions. You should come be a roughneck for a week tough guy, i would break you... period! Cant stand you "look at me, im a badass" type.. you are always the quickest to walk off the pad! Also, NEVER promote unsafe work behavior.. not everyone is the same. What you may do with "ease" may get someone else killed... everybody wants to go home to their family at the end of the day... as they should.
@@THEOFFICIALJakeFromStateFarm your completely right and oil fields ain’t no joke
I love being in the solar industry one thing about all of us is we are competitive AF Love to all my solar people hustlers Without a doubt
