City Plumbing has announced subsidised solar PV training in conjunction with renewable energy training specialist, GTEC Training.
Building on the success of its air source heat pump training courses, City Plumbing has again partnered with GTEC to offer solar training. Sixty percents of the cost of the training are funded by a government grant.
A further focus on solar sees City Plumbing become the first national merchant to supply Midea battery storage and EV-chargers. This comes is in addition to City Plumbing’s recent opening of dedicated solar hubs in nine of its branches, as well as its solar PV kit builder, which helps users identify all the components needed for a correct installation, saving time and improving accuracy.
Hemal Morjaria, Managing Director - Heating & Renewables at City Plumbing, explained: “We know solar installations are a growing area for our customers, with our research showing that more than 40% of installers are already trained in solar and a further 44% looking to be in the next 12 months.
“Our subsidised, or even free courses, make upskilling in solar a practical reality for trades who often don’t have the spare cash to invest in their growth and business development. This training, combined with specialist products, tools and service, will help installers take advantage of the massive increase in solar in the UK.”
