Solar can be a door into electrical, batteries, and energy storage. I would not treat it as a shortcut, but it can be a smart start.
Is solar installation a real trade career or just a temporary boom?

I see a lot more solar jobs advertised now, especially in some U.S. states and parts of Canada. Is solar a stable career, or should someone learn electrical first?
AI Summary
Replies suggest solar can be a good door into the industry, but electrical fundamentals, safety training, and broader construction skills make the career more durable.
Answers & Discussion
Solar is real, but I would learn electrical basics first if possible. Install-only work can be up and down with incentives and local policy.
It is physically harder than people think. You are on roofs, in weather, moving panels. Good safety culture is everything.
