Rooftops across Lebanon went solar. Someone has to install, fix and maintain those systems. That someone could be you.
In the last few years, solar panels have become part of the Lebanese skyline. Homes, shops, schools and factories turned to the sun to keep the lights on. That boom created steady demand for one profession: the trained solar technician. A short, hands-on solar energy course is the quickest way in.
Why solar skills are in demand
- Installations keep growing. New homes and businesses keep adding panels, batteries and inverters.
- Existing systems need care. Panels need cleaning and checks, batteries wear out, and inverters fail. Maintenance work continues long after installation.
- Poor installs need fixing. Many systems were installed quickly and without proper training. Qualified technicians are needed to correct them safely.
- Skills travel. Renewable energy expertise is valued across the Gulf, Europe and Africa.
What you learn in a solar energy course
The solar program in Don Bosco Technique’s vocational training covers two main areas:
Solar water heating

Photovoltaics (solar electricity)

Who should take it?
- Electricians who want to add solar to their services
- School leavers looking for a practical, in-demand trade
