Installations are never one-size-fits-all, and training for solar contractors should be equally diverse.
That’s why Solar roof-mount attachment provider S-5! and Solar Power World will host SOMO, the first training conference dedicated solely to the art and science of mounting rooftop and ground solar, this August in Las Vegas.
The solar industry’s top 25 to 30 racking and mounting manufacturers, including S-5!, Zilla, Mounting Systems, IronRidge and many more will provide 24 hours of hands-on training courses, and over 90 hours of classroom instruction, many of which are NABCEP recognized.
“The companies participating in and providing training courses at SOMO represent the gold standard in solar mounting, and there is no better place to learn best-practices than this event,” said Keith Lipps, vice president of marketing and sales at S-5!. “Attendees can be assured that direct instruction from these tier-one solar mounting companies will be the most comprehensive training they can receive in one place.”
Attendees can expect to learn the proper and safe installation techniques for a variety of roof- and ground-mount applications during a day of hands-on workshops and two days of classroom instruction and training.
Each day begins with a breakfast, includes a keynote speaker during lunch and closes with a networking and cocktail hour.
