The Solar Installation training course teaches participants about the fundamentals of rooftop solar energy systems. The course provides an introduction to electricity, solar energy, training certifications and hands-on installation of a demonstration solar panel system. Participants gain knowledge, skills, and exposure to the field of solar energy in a two to four week course. In this fiscal year, we delivered two solar installation courses. One in St. Theresa Point, a fly-in community located approximately 650km northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The program attracted 18 participants. The second was held at York University in the Greater Toronto Area. This 4-week program equipped 12 participants with comprehensive knowledge and hands- on experience in solar technology. Relay's partnerships with institutions like York University and the Toronto Black Farmers and Growers offered insights into sustainable urban farming practices, which complement solar installation.
"The program equipped me with the technical, administrative and soft skills needed for solar. I know that I can launch myself in the solar job market with confidence and that I'll be successful."
