Rise Renewable Energy
We’re not here to check boxes. We’re here to build better technicians. Rise Renewable Energy is a privately owned company changing the way the renewable industry thinks about safety and technical training. Founded in 2021, we work with everyone from small solar startups to major global OEMs—and we all have the same goal: train people to do the job right and come home safe. We keep it hands-on, in-person, and no nonsense. Because at the utility scale, “almost ready” isn’t good enough. What We Do Best: •Tech Training That Sticks – From solar 101 to advanced inverter troubleshooting, we make sure your team’s not just certified—but actually prepared. •Real-World Safety – Grounded in NFPA 70E, LOTO, and hard-earned field experience. We don’t teach theory—we teach what keeps people alive. •Custom Curriculum – Built for your site, your equipment, and your crew. No copy-paste slideshows. •Advanced Support Training – We bridge the gap between engineers and field techs. If your team’s stuck, we help get them unstuck. •OEM-Aligned Programs – Through our partnerships, we deliver manufacturer-specific training without the red tape. Everything we do starts and ends with safety. Whether you're onboarding a green crew or sharpening your veterans, we train your people to work with confidence—and finish the day in one piece. No rigid packages. No bloated pricing. Just the training you need, built around how your team actually works. We scale with you, not against you. If you're tired of watching new hires struggle or seeing seasoned techs burn out, we should talk. 📍 Based in Tehachapi, CA 📞 Let’s connect at https://www.riserenewable.energy or reach out directly.
