 Are you a woman who has interest in gaining more skills in solar and would love to learn while also feeling included, respected, and welcomed alongside other women? 

We seek to build a community of women that includes curious newbies, committed learners, change-of-career seekers, skilled professionals, and others who desire to expand their technical skills in solar and connect with (and learn from) women in the process.

Ultimately, Solar for Women is interested in a robust and engaged network of women who resonate with our values, want to enhance their skills and/or offer their expertise, and be a part of the shifting culture for women in the trades.
