Solar PV Installer Jobs and Recruitment for Solar Installation Companies
Solar PV installers fit the panels, inverters and wiring that turn sunlight into electricity for homes, schools, farms and businesses. Demand has grown quickly, and good installers are in short supply. Bernoullis recruits solar PV installers, solar electricians, roofers, surveyors and installation managers for solar installation companies across the UK, and checks qualifications, safety training and references before anyone starts.
Why Solar Installation Companies Use Bernoullis
A poor installation can mean a roof leak, a failed inspection or an unhappy customer. Solar installers work at height, on live circuits and in people’s homes, so skill and attitude both matter. We look carefully at installation experience, electrical competence and customer manner, so the people we send can represent your business well.
We Know Solar Installs
We ask about roof types, system sizes, inverters, batteries and the paperwork your installs need before we search. Candidates are matched on the systems they have actually fitted.
Safety and Competence Checked
We confirm working at height training, electrical qualifications and any solar PV courses. References from installation managers confirm the quality of their work.

Solar Installers Are in High Demand
The UK is fitting more solar than ever. MCS recorded 267,032 certified solar PV installations in 2025 (MCS), and solar produced a record 6.9% of UK electricity that year (DESNZ, reported April 2026).
Each of those systems needs solar PV installers, electricians and surveyors. Solar installation companies often find electricians the hardest people to hire, because the same skills are wanted across construction, batteries and electric vehicle charging.
We help solar installation companies by reaching solar installers who are not scrolling job boards and explaining your role honestly. For job seekers, that means solar jobs that match your skills, your qualifications and how far you want to travel.

How to Hire Solar PV Installers: A Practical Guide
Start with the type of work. Domestic roofs, commercial roofs and solar farms need different skills. Write down the system sizes, the roof types and whether batteries are included.
Next, decide which roles need a qualified electrician. Many solar installation companies pair a lead electrician with one or two installers, so not every role needs full electrical qualifications.
Then think about travel and vans. Solar installers often cover a wide area, so be clear about travel time, vans and overnight stays.
Finally, move quickly. Good solar installers are hired fast, especially in spring.
What we assess
- Electrical qualifications
- Working at height training
- Experience with similar systems
- Customer manner in homes
- Right to work and references
- Driving licence and travel
