Job Spotlight – Alternative Energy Installer
Alternative Energy Installer
For the person who really craves physical labor and enjoys the complexities of emerging technologies, the job of an installer could be right up your alley. This person could specialize in updating outdated heating and cooling systems in a residence, or knowing how to outfit a building with solar panels, or perhaps even working with builders to create storm water tank systems for a new condo complex. Tasks in this field, like linking a solar water heater to a home owners grey water system, could be tricky, and may require technical school training or apprenticeships. A plus for this career would be having a background in energy efficiency regulations, tax rebates, and other governmental programs available to help consumers select the right product for upgrades. Salary range: $24,000 to $61,000.
