Student reviews

The truth is I don't like studying. But with this course and the need to improve myself in my professional life, I am learning to study, concentrate and give my best. I hope I can pass the exam that is my goal

What a great course! Sean White delivers some great introductory knowledge for solar professionals that want to take the next step in their careers or for anyone interested in learning more about PV solar. 11/10!

It was an honor to take a course with the greatest snowboarder of all time

Welcome! Very informative and user friendly. Good luck and enjoy!

This course is great. I really enjoyed the interactive way the the instructor lead this course. Other course are usually boring and hard to stay awake, but I was ready to learn the whole way through. Thanks HeatSpring!

I’ve been in the industry since 2015, gaining a lot of direct practical knowledge as well as passive learning along the way. I really wish I had taken this course 10 years ago! It's an interactive and interesting class, but it's also easy to put in the background while doing other tasks after reading the textbook chapters. I know I’ll refer back to this material throughout the year. I feel prepared to take this test.

This course is a complete package for those preparing for the NABCEP PVA exam. I would also recommend Sean White's text book - Solar Photovoltaic Basics - as a guide to prepare for the exam.

The course was much better than I expected. I have taken many online courses in my career, and Sean did a great job of making the lessons engaging and breaking down some of the complexities of the topics.

Great course with lots of information, would highly recommend.

The Heatspring 18 Hour Solar PV Bootcamp course is an incredibly valuable tool, whether you've worked in PV for years or are just getting started in the industry. The self-guided approach allows those who have experience to spend more time on topics they are less familiar with, while moving quickly through items that may be more review for them. I also think the course does a great job of balancing teaching the material in a way that allows it to be fully understood, as opposed to "teaching to the test", while still making sure it does prepare for the actual examination. Great course that I will absolutely return to even after completing my certifications!

No.

This course is very informative, engaging and easy to follow. Sean Keeps your attention through the entire thing!

Whether your new to the solar industry or a seasoned solar veteran in need of a refresher course, this 18-Hour Solar PV Bootcamp provides a plethora of a great information to fast-track your continued solar education.

This course is a must-take for anyone starting their journey in the solar industry! I wish the solar EPC I work at made me take this in the first month after I was hired.

Engaging and entertaining course that is a great entry point into the solar power + energy storage world. I am an energy systems engineer with career experience and I still learned a lot. The Associate course is an awesome choice for anyone that wants to work in this high-demand and growing field. Highly recommended!

Prior to taking the course I had very limited knowledge of PV and how it is supposed to function. My limited experience was field level installation without any theory. This course in just 18hours has explained many things about PV that I had no prior understanding of. In a very short amount of time my knowledge of PV application/installation has increased dramatically.

I took this course in preparation for the PVIP exam 40-hr prep course. Even with years of Solar installation experience, I learned a tremendous amount from this entry-level course. I feel as though it has filled in the gaps of my knowledge of solar design, installation, and use. This is a great foundation for anyone in the industry, and I am confident in building up to more advanced material from here.

This BOOT Camp was a very good introduction to the solar PV. I now am more comfortable regarding the initial stage of system design and performance estimation.

I absolutely love the way Sean does his lectures. The funny explanations and side notes are great. If all college/other courses were the same way, it would be soooo much easier to stay engaged!

I would confidently walk out of the 18 hours with a much better idea of the solar industry, and be sure that I could work in the industry knowing what I have learnt is useful in the field.

Sean White is awesome and his enthusiasm for solar power is unmatched!

Thanks Sean.

I had prior experience with both selling solar and installing solar, so I wasn't sure how impactful this course would be. I was immediately impressed with the course layout and educational approach of Mr. White. I picked up a ton on the electrical side of the process and installation. I was mainly on the roof, not in the panel, so it helped a great deal. Again, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into solar.

I really enjoyed the course. It gave me a lot of confidence heading into my NABCEP test.

If you want to "REALLY" get into this technology, this is a great place to start!

This course put together by Sean White and Heatspring is invaluable. I took the course and went from being a "new guy" at work to being viewed as an expert. If you are serious about the PV industry - education is the path to success. Cheers to many sunny days ahead!

Sean is a very knowledge person and responds quickly. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to increase their knowledge in the solar industry!

Great course, very thorough.

Perfect course to acquire a solid base and technical practicality on PV systems. Great instructor with high skills in explanation.

Sean really made the calculations part of the course very easy to understand.

Before doing this course, I did not much about work safety but having gone through this course I saw the emphasis on safety and the need to apply it in every work environment. So going forward safety is one thing I will consider in every workspace

Sean's ability to communicate with everyone in all of his courses amazes me

Sean's an excellent communicator on all things solar! Whether you're looking to get a foot hold in the industry or advance your career, I highly recommend taking one of Sean's Heatspring courses! I feel more confident in my knowledge and the ability to more effectively communicate the basics of solar PV!

Instructor was fun and kind. Always messaging back on discussion board posts makes it feel more like a conversation and less of a task

Sean did a great job and I was able to gain a ton of new information.

I work around other solar professionals and whenever they would see or hear the content I was learning or I would share my thoughts experience, they would literally verbalize their admiration and jealousy that they did not get to take this course as their NABCEP prep

I thoroughly enjoyed the content of this course and believe I have expanded my knowledge base in the field of PV. Sean was very informative and interactive in the discussion boards. How he can find the time to answer questions I know he's fielded a million times in a personalized tone is beyond me and highly appreciated.

I would recommend this course to snyone who wants a jump-start in their PV career!

I would recommend this course to anyone in the industry trying to understand how PV works.
