Become a solar installer
Demand for solar installations (homes, shops, water pumping) outstrips the supply of qualified technicians. This kit covers certified training, tooling, first installs and supplier partnerships.
-
1
Train and get certified
An electrical foundation is essential. 3FPT funds short vocational courses (building electricity, solar energy) — the subsidy can cover most fees. Training centres publish their sessions on Oppium.

Tool up progressively
Multimeter, MC4 crimping tool, drill, ladder, harness: the basic toolkit. Start with small home kits (light + phone charging) that need neither scaffolding nor high-voltage certification.

Become a supplier's approved installer
Panel and battery dealers look for reliable installers for their customers. A partnership (you install, they supply and guarantee) fills your schedule with zero acquisition cost. These partnership offers appear on Oppium.
