With over 25 years of experience, Solar Source
developed a training arm to help meet the needs of the
growing solar industry. As a result, Solar Source
Institute (SSI) was established. Since its inception, SSI
has trained approximately 500 electricians, plumbers,
roofers, architects, building inspectors, technical
trainers, and other construction-related workers. SSI
training teaches not only fundamentals and installation,
but also covers permitting, sales & marketing, financial
incentives, and more to assure the students can manage
jobs from start to finish.
SSI is licensed by the Dept. of Education and is a
member of the Florida Association of Post-Secondary
Schools and Colleges. SSI courses are approved for
continuing education credits by the Florida Department
of Business and Professional Regulation for both the
Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) and the

partnered with several State colleges in Florida and
beyond to offer consistent quality training opportunities
in multiple locations.
