NST and AET work together to create leading dealer training course.

Sept. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Alternate Energy Technologies (AET) has supercharged solar training for their dealers with a thoroughly enhanced training program developed by National Solar Trainers LLC.

Both AET and NST have over 35 years experience in the solar thermal industry. Helping thousands of successful solar installers over the years, they are the perfect partner for both new and seasoned professionals to gain the tools needed for success.

National Solar Trainers provides a full 5 day long solar thermal training course, covering in depth the fundamentals, design and practice of solar installations. Renowned for its hands-on format, the course requires students to install fully functional systems on state-of-the-art mock roofs in lab groups of 3-5, ensuring all students will play an active role in the installation process before installing their own systems. In the second part of the course, students will learn the sales, marketing and business techniques, unique to solar, that will help them land more jobs and build highly successful solar companies.

“This new dealer package is a great opportunity for solar contractors everywhere.   If they want to launch their business, this is the place to go.  NST Training is top of the industry and will cover all the skills and inside tips they’ll need” said Tara Byrom, VP of Sales and Marketing of AET.

Alternate Energy Technologies is an industry leader in providing dealers with exceptional services. Once students have completed the leading 5-day training program, they will receive an Authorized AET Dealer Certificate. This certificate allows them access to exclusive marketing and branding materials, consumer financing programs offering customers solar systems with no money down, access to government contracts through AET’s GSA and ARRA Schedule, as well as highly competitive price discounts on the industry’s best collectors.

“We’re very excited to be working with AET. Their experience and market leadership really shows. The new program is a great chance for contractors to pick up the full set of skills needed to turn them into highly successful solar companies” said Lars Rudstam, Sales and Marketing Manager of NST.

AET Dealers will receive the full package for solar business success starting on October 25th, 2010 with soon to be announced regularly schedule classes. AET’s dealer training program will be held at the U.S. Solar Academy, a state of the art, 10,000 square foot solar training academy located in Charlotte, NC.
