He started his first company to install solar panels in 2006. • Two years ago he took part in the Install + Res training programme, part of the Intelligent Energy Europe project to get qualified and expand his area of expertise. • Shenkov said it really helped his business: The training gave me the idea to develop innovative products manufactured here in Bulgaria, like refrigerated trucks powered by solar panels and decorative solar shutters. • He now has several strings to his bow. He is a consultant for a number of companies and has a contract worth millions with a leading international player in refrigerated transport. • • He believes the training has unlocked a global opportunity for his ideas: The products have brought us international recognition from France, Spain, North Africa and even Peru. • Assessing the impact of the training Business Planet reporter Serge Rombi described the project as a pilot institution that specialises in renewable energy in Sofia. Shenkov received 240 hours of free training. After a 2009 EU Directive only certified installers now have the right to work in the renewable energy sector. • The project coordinator at the Vocational High School of Electronics in Sofia, Iglika Nedelcheva, said: A total of 77 entrepreneurs have been trained and we have issued 163 certificates in the area of photovoltaic installations, solar thermal systems, biomass and heat pumps. • The Install + Res project was initiated in Germany and moved on to Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, Slovenia and Italy. It was an initiative that gave the development of renewable energy a real boost, says Iglika Nedelcheva: • We have also trained jobless individuals, who went on to find work and teachers who now pass on the skills to the young. • Aleksander described the recipe for success in the renewable energy market in this way: • Find us on: • Youtube http://bit.ly/zr3upY • Facebook / euronews.fans • Twitter / euronews
