NABCEP-Based Solar Education

Our intensive 5-day training program ensures that you understand all of the regulatory and financial considerations that go into professional solar installation.

Our entry-level course is designed to accommodate both those with strong technical backgrounds and those completely new to the field.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been on a roof or don’t know the first thing about electrical wiring. Using the learning objectives of the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), our carefully crafted curriculum will help you quickly master solar photovoltaic (PV) design, installation, and safety.

Over the course of 5 days of intensive solar panel training, you will learn:

• site survey and shading analysis
• multiple solar system installations (full wiring, conduit panels, racking)
• working with micro-inverters and string inverters
• tile cutting, roof penetrations, and racking
• ground mounts
• solar tools workshop (pulling wires, bending conduit, combiner boxes)
• load center tie-in / project staging

Unrivaled Solar Training Experience

Not only do our students benefit from carefully designed ISPQ-accredited instruction, but they also gain from the thousands of hours of solar PV teaching experience that our instructors have accumulated over the years.  NABCEP-certified with extensive professional experience training and installing throughout North America, our instructors’ teaching style is accessible for the solar novice, while also engaging  for more experienced students.  Those who successfully pass our intensive 5-Day Solar PV Design & Installation training are eligible to sit for the NABCEP PV Entry Level Exam administered by the Academy on the last Friday of each month.

Learning by Doing

The best way to learn is to do! This is how our NABCEP-certified solar instructors mastered their skills, and this is how you will master yours. All of our solar training courses blend extensive theory with hands-on exercises to equip you with the tools and experience you need to launch an exciting career, start a new business, or grow an existing one within the solar industry.
