Hi Ady, when you say self study, are you studying to purchase a solar system or for another reason? Please give a bit more details about why you are interested in PV and we should be able to direct you.
Thanks

Excellent Ady, it’s a great industry to work in.
There are lots of very useful articles on CER blog, see here [https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/information/](https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/information/).
What country and area do you live in? How I got into the industry was simply by starting working in admin for a solar company. There is a lot to learn, but you can make a great career in solar and renewables, either from a technical or non-technical position.
