Hi guys hope you can help seems a very decent forum you have here.
Bit of background, When I was at sixth form studying some generic A levels my dad had a motorbike accident and it resulted in me going to work at his business full time as he was in hospital for a number of months and could no longer do his job.
Im 23 now and I want to do my own thing. My dad is now prepared to go into a partnership with me into installing Solar PV domestically. He can run the business side of things and I will be doing the installs.
I have no qualification towards being an electrician or solar pv. So I'm looking for some guidance on the best place to start. While apprentice is the most comprehensive option, I don't want to be an electrician I want to focus on Solar PV installation.
I rang New Career Skills and they recommended their electrician course with the Solar PV course addded on.
Is that the best way to go about getting MCS approved? My dad will be having solar PV installed on his own house by myself once I finish the course, and I dont mind paying the £5000-£6000 for the course.
Does that course get me everything I need to start installing Solar PV?
I probably could just do a solar PV course but I feel its important to have some electrical background knowledge rather than turning up at a clients house with a lack of knowledge.
Thanks,
Tom
