At Solar & Storage Live in London, GSE Intégration took part in the Installer Training Hub to give installers hands-on experience with its PV mounting systems.
Solar&StorageXtra spoke with Sales Director Julien Dubuisson to learn more about why the company joined the Installer Training Hub, and the value it brings to both seasoned professionals and new installers entering the solar sector.
“For every session, we’ve had between 30 and 40 installers register and attend the training. It gives us a great opportunity to reach a wide audience.”
Why did GSE Intégration join the Installer Training Hub at Solar & Storage Live in London?
Julien: GSE Intégration has been in the UK market for the last 10 years. We are a PV integrated mounting system manufacturer, and we were first invited by Solar Energy UK to join the Training Hub in Birmingham two years ago.
We immediately accepted because it perfectly aligns with how we want to approach installers – by training as many as possible on how to mount our product.
How is participating in the Installer Training Hub different from only exhibiting at the show?
Julien: Of course, we have a stand at every Solar & Storage Live event in Birmingham, and now in London as well. But the Training Hub offers a completely different approach.
We bring a physical training rig, which allows us to really show our product and demonstrate the different steps involved in its installation.
How has the experience been at the Installer Training Hub?
Julien: I believe this is our third participation – twice in Birmingham and now for the first time in London. It’s been very successful.
For every session, we’ve had between 30 and 40 installers register and attend the training. It gives us a great opportunity to reach a wide audience and provide them with a basic understanding of how to install the GSE system.
Having a physical rig on-site means installers can actually touch the product and engage directly with it, which I think is the best part.
This is especially valuable for new installers preparing for their first GSE installation in the coming days or weeks. It gives them the chance to understand the product before working with it in the field.
Even though we offer many other training approaches, this hands-on opportunity is a great way to ensure the system will be installed properly.
