Solar PV trained roofers have become highly sought after because of the financial incentives put in place for customers of all sorts who have PV installed. Clean Energy Cash Back incentives of up to 41.3p/kWh generated (even if it is used on-site) are available, making microgeneration systems pay for themselves much, much faster. As a roofer you have an excellent opportunity to work with electricians who are moving into this field.
