The Solar Power Workout: How Much a Commercial Solar Panel Installer Burns from Work
Imagine a job where you get to harness the power of the sun while also getting a full-body workout, welcome to the world of a commercial solar panel installer. Based on some fascinating data from a recent week of work, let’s dive into just how much energy a member of our hardworking team at GB NRG burns, how many steps they take, and how high they climb—all in the name of sustainable energy.

Clearly, installing solar panels is not just good for the environment but also a great way to stay fit and healthy.
Stepping Up: Total Steps
In just five days, our installer clocked up a whopping 70,038 steps, averaging 14,008 steps per day. That’s well above the recommended 10,000 steps a day, showing just how active this job is.

Carrying solar panels (averaging 25kg per panel) across distance, climbing ladders, and moving equipment certainly add up, making every workday a significant physical activity.
