A Note From Our Training Director…

If you’ve been on the fence about whether to invest in solar training, I can assure you that now is the time. More than one thousand people went through MREA training last year, and we receive calls daily from people looking to hire for their solar business.

In just a few short years, we’ve gone from talking about why clean energy should happen to how best it should happen. Whether it’s the economic, environmental, financial, health, personal, political, or societal benefits of renewable energy, one thing is certain – it just makes sense. Solar jobs are growing exponentially. Homes, businesses, schools, communities, and utilities are investing in renewable energy systems because they’re affordable, reliable, clean, and can be easily integrated with our existing lifestyle and infrastructure.

Our mission stands in 2020: to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable living through education and demonstration. We will continue to bring you relevant and high-quality courses with a pool of instructors that are experienced and recognized industry professionals. We offer you training online, at our headquarters in Central Wisconsin, and all over the Midwest in our Solar Training Academies and contract trainings. We are excited about the updated and new courses we have to offer. We are motivated by all of the student and employer interest. And even after 30 years, we continue to love what we do. We have much to offer and can’t wait to share it with you.

Here’s to a peaceful and productive 2020.
