A new solar training program has opened in Slough, just outside of London.
Proinso UK has signed with EcoSkies for training the Network of Qualified Installers, as part of its international training programme, the Proinso Solar Training School. EcoSkies is one of the UK’s main photovoltaic installer solar training centres, and Proinso’s programme involves collaboration through provision of teaching material and organisation of conferences and training programmes for the UK-based installers.
Proinso, a company specialising in distribution of modules, inverters, trackers and fixed structures for solar photovoltaic installations, has opened a new office and logistics warehouse in London, which will be the firm’s base for strengthening its UK market presence.
The company aims to do this through its team of highly qualified local professionals with wide experience in the renewable energies sector, led by Mark Randall. Proinso UK forecasts reaching a 10% share of total sales in the United Kingdom by 2012.
From its new UK office, Proinso will work to provide solar training, service and support to the 30 Qualified Installers it currently employs in the UK, and to add to its current number of installers and customers. The Slough logistics warehouse is over 3000 sqm in size, and will allow the company to offer customers a permanent stock service. Proinso will thus speed up deliveries to small-sized photovoltaic installation companies for their projects.
The London base is added to the list of Proinso offices in Spain, Germany, Greece, Italy, the US, Canada, China and the Czech Republic, and its International Network of Qualified Installers currently includes 1,695 member companies worldwide.
For more information on their solar training go to Proinso.
Do you know if the UK has any solar training standards in place or any accreditation programs? We do online solar training but it is only accredited by IREC in the US and registered with the US based NABCEP organization. Would be nice to meet other countries standards to offer training. If there is any interest in our training it is at www.sunpirate.com/solar-training-course.html and I would love to know any resources you might know of for the UK so we could expand this training program.
