As American servicemen and women prepare to exit the military, there are several reasons why solar is a solid next step on the veterans’ career path:

  • Veterans often come equipped with skills, training, technical knowledge and experience that are well suited to this field.
  • Veterans bring a strong work ethic, a “can do” attitude and highly developed teamwork skills.
  • is a natural fit for service-oriented individuals looking to enhance national energy security, public and environmental health and quality of life

 

Retired Army Col. Thom Besch, the founder of Veteran Solar Systems in New York, agrees. After retiring from the military in 2009, Besch went on to do everything from solar sales, design, installation, project management and running the regulatory office of a company before he started Veteran Solar Systems in 2014.

In my experience working with a lot of young, as well as older, soldiers, I discovered that many of them are struggling to figure out what to do next. … Having made the transition from military service to solar, I recognize the challenges they face, and steps they can take to help insure they can successfully make the transition from a military environment to a civilian career.
