“My passion for solar grew as did my knowledge of the renewable energy industry. I started my apprenticeship training so I could install solar electric systems. After hours of paid on-the-job training, I received my license. I truly feel good about my work. Every day, I’m doing my part to better the environment and influencing others along the way!”Stacey McKinney, Electrician

An electrician installs and maintains wiring, fuses and other electrical components in

homes, businesses and factories. In addition to working with high voltage wiring, many

electricians install solar and maintain voice, data and video wiring. An electrician

can specialize in either maintenance or construction or both.
