SunWork Bay Area

Learn how solar panels work, installation considerations, technology options and economics from SunWork, a nonprofit dedicated to making solar more affordable and widespread with the help of trained volunteers. We’ll also talk about options to electrify your home, including heat pumps, induction cooking, battery backups, and electric vehicle chargers.

A Zoom link will be sent the day of the event to those who register.

Register for a free online webinar to learn how to install solar energy systems. Then volunteer on solar energy projects in your community.

Learn the basics of installing rooftop solar energy systems by volunteering with SunWork. This 3-hour online event teaches the basics of rooftop solar, solar equipment, electricity, and construction safety. This orientation is a great opportunity to learn about clean renewable energy.
Once you’ve completed this training, you are eligible to join us to install residential and nonprofit solar systems in your community. Volunteers work together with SunWork’s professional staff, attaching racking, running conduit, hanging inverters, and mounting the solar panels that make a solar system tick. Some of our volunteers leverage this experience toward a career in solar energy. Others plan to install solar on their own homes. Most volunteers enjoy supporting the expansion of clean renewable energy and helping provide solar energy for their communities. Please see our Bay Area and Central Coast web pages for the communities we serve.
