This one day seminar has been designed to provide an overview of the business, financial and technical considerations of setting up a renewable energy installation business.
20 September 2010 - BRE, Watford
With issues of green technology in the spotlight there has never been a better time to explore the opportunity of becoming a renewable energy installer!
The use of renewable energy systems helps to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to contribute to the security of energy supply. To encourage their use, Government are introducing incentives for organisations and private individuals to install renewable energy equipment in buildings via grant systems. To meet obligations under the EU 2020 targets many more systems need to be installed. There is huge potential in this market sector for new business and it's been proven, with similar schemes in other countries, to successfully stimulate the market. The UK government also sees the creation of ‘green jobs' as an important tool for improving the economy.
This one-day seminar is designed to guide you through the first-steps when considering starting a renewable energy installation business, to provide you with sources of information and where to go for help.
