Akeena Solar Inc. was revisited this month soon after the firm announced its Q2 earnings had flopped. Nineteen stores stocking the solar panels were consulted about whether they were hiring new installers and whether there was a special certification course required in order to work at the company. We found that 58% of those polled were not hiring new people to install the systems. But 42% were hiring new folk. And while 37% said no certification was required to work with the firm, 63% replied that special training was required.
