"I would never have had the confidence and know how to enter the solar industry if it wasn't for the accelerator. I achieved a Level 3 in solar and Battery in just 5 days, with further 1-1 support which continues well after the accelerator leading me to MCS Accreditation" - Amrit, Dynamic Solar & EV
