The primary objective of this collaboration centres on training the next generation of skilled solar installers, directly addressing the critical skills gap in the rapidly expanding solar industry. The facility has been meticulously designed to provide comprehensive, hands-on training that prepares installers for real-world challenges they will encounter in the field.
What distinguishes this facility as truly exceptional is its status as the only training rig in the UK offering both vertical and horizontal solar panel installation training. This dual capability approach ensures trainees gain comprehensive experience with the full spectrum of installation techniques, making them significantly more versatile and valuable in the marketplace.
"We are incredibly excited about this partnership with GSE Integrations. The solar industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, but we're facing a significant skills shortage. This collaboration creates the UK's most comprehensive solar training facility, with our unique dual training capability allowing trainees to gain experience with both vertical and horizontal installations. This partnership ensures the UK has the skilled workforce necessary to achieve its renewable energy ambitions." - Anthony Ottway, Managing Director at GL
