India is in the middle of a solar revolution — and the country urgently needs trained people to build it. If you’re looking for solar energy courses in India that go beyond classroom theory, IISE offers the most industry-aligned training available, from short-term certificates to a one-year PG Diploma. Backed by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, our solar training programs in India have placed over 3,000 graduates with companies like Tata Power Solar, ReNew, Adani, and L&T — across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
India has committed to 500GW of renewable capacity by 2030. The PM Surya Ghar mission is adding rooftop solar to 10 million homes. Every MW of new capacity needs designers, installers, project managers, and O&M engineers — but the trained workforce hasn’t kept pace. Industry estimates point to over 300,000 new solar jobs opening up by 2030, with hiring growth already running at 40% year-on-year.
For anyone considering a renewable energy career in India, the entry window right now is exceptional. Salaries for mid-level solar professionals range from ₹7.5–12 LPA, with senior EPC consultants earning ₹15–25+ LPA.
