Student reviews

I found this course to be thorough and informative. Passed the PVIP exam first try with a 91.

Sean's course was incredibly helpful in the process of starting my own solar installation company. I had a lot of industry training beforehand, and the two methods of learning came together like a hand in a nitrile glove

I would recommend to others!

Great course. I highly recommend.

Retaking after letting my license lapse due to travel and work requirements. Hope to have positive test experience post covid

The information provided was much more in-depth than expected across more areas than I knew existed - I loved it! I will definitely be returning to this course several times over the next 12 months to stay current with my knowledge and any new material!

The course bundle and the PVIP test prep gave me a solid foundation for the PVIP exam. I personally did the 18 Hour PV Solar Boot Camp, the 40-Hour NABCEP Advanced PV Certification Training, and the NABCEP PV Installation Professional (PVIP) Practice Exam. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The NABCEP PVIP exam was more challenging than I expected, but I was able to fall back on the foundation I had learned through the course and then work through the challenging questions. I could hear Sean talking over my shoulder! I would definitely recommend the course package!

This course was really well prepared and thought out; from the delivery and organization, to the resources and active discussion board. I feel grateful to have landed in the Heatspring courses, you can always tell when someone truly loves what they are teaching. Now that I have finished the "Battery Storage Bootcamp & 40hr NABCEP Advanced PV Training", I'll continue with the "Additional Videos" and start diving into several other Courses. Thank you for all the collaborative efforts to create and maintain these program(s).

This was a great course for people new to PV and Energy Storage. The break down of different technologies and visual presentation were great for the side by side comparisons and real world applications.

They way Sean explains and uses repetition to engrave concepts in your brain is awesome! It really helps to take this course if you want to pass the exam or improve your knowledge in solar!

After taking the PVIP exam, I realized that I have been studying for the exam for three years either in the field installing and asking questions from great master electricians or in an office creating resources for engineers in the office and installers in the field. However, the practice questions allowed me to orient my test-taking mind for the PVIP. I made an 83 on the actual exam and credit the last push required for passing to this course. Many Thanks!

Sean, thank you for putting together these practice questions, they were very instrumental in my passing of the PVIP exam. I felt well prepared and was confident of my answers on the majority of the exam.

This is a self-paced course, so the most important thing is to just watch the videos without half-assing it. Make sure you grasp the concepts before moving on to the next video. No one will force you to understand everything except for yourself

The NABCEP certifications are great, this course will get you to your goal.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the solar industry and preparing for the NABCEP PVIP exam. It's an excellent industry filled with smart, driven professionals and endless opportunities for growth.

Sean and his team have spent endless time perfecting this course. The course is very well done and the test questions are fair. Thanks Sean!!

The energy storage associate boot camp was a great course for anyone looking to learn about an important technology - batteries…and more! The course covered a wide variety of topics in a well-organized and practical manner. I would recommend it to anyone serious about entering or continuing to improve in the field of sustainable energy.

This course is an awesome way to prep for the NABCEP exam. Do it!

This is a great beginner's course for those who want to enter into the renewables field!

Highly recommended course! I learned a lot of practical and hands-on information, even already being an Energy Systems Engineer with career experience. I wish I would have taken it 5 years sooner. It is THE way to learn how to get solar PV on roofs and batteries in garages. This will be THE critical skill set for the 21st century and can unlock harmony of people, planet, and prosperity.

Yep.

Keep up the great work!

I started this journey ten years ago when I took the PVIP after being in the trade for 3 years and failed. I waited another 10 years before trying again and passed with more knowledge.

This course was great because of the enthusiasm of the instructor (Sean White). It makes a huge difference in keeping things interesting.

Really enjoyed! Ive taken many classes, and more in the future im sure.

If youre studying for your PVIP exam, this is the one for you!

I am very proud to learn from such a skilled instructor.

this is a great class and an effective way to learn about solar. thank you Sean and HeatSpring.

Great course with a lot of technical information that has expanded my knowledge and abilities in the solar industry.

Great Company!

Whether you have been involved in ESS or are new to the industry this is a great primer to get someone familiar with the technologies and regulations they may encounter.

Definitely one of the best courses i have taken online. instructor makes it easy to understand by explaining every detail of the content. the course is done at your own pace, giving you time to take small braakes if needed, and able to have time throughout the day for daily life activities. Definitely recoment to take this course.

The course was well structured and comprehensive; it tackles energy storage systems from different angles: science, applications, and most importantly the codes the pertain to ESS.

I've learned a ton of core knowledge from this course. Personally, the handbook 'Solar PV Engineering and Installation' by Sean White is an absolute must for walking through this course with it in hand.

Comparing my knowledge prior to taking this course to after completion, I feel I have gained much and am in a much better position to take the PVIP exam.

I am so glad I dedicated the time and expenses for this course. I struggled with the best way to study for the NABCEP and I feel this really keeps one on track and focused. Great course, great instructor and great material!

ok

As a 15-year veteran of the residential solar business, this course was valuable to me for clarifying and reinforcing the "Why" and "How" behind all the "What" I've learned to do over the years. Never too late to learn more, and I'm looking forward to taking (and passing!) the PVIP exam and adding the NABCEP cert to my name and my business. Get started in solar on the right foot with the right knowledge, or build on what you know and move to the next step of expertise and value. More solar, yes, and especially MORE SOLAR DONE RIGHT.

A great course second to none. It seems long but there is so much to get through. A must for PV installers

Sean's PVIP course was crucial in preparing for the exam. Despite how complicated the material and process of the exam is, Sean does an excellent job of breaking down all the different sections and making the entire process clear and understandable. His responsiveness to discussion board posts also allowed any confusion or questions to be quickly resolved.

This was a great course and I will be taking more of Sean's classes very consistently as I move through the industry.

very funny guy, the course is long and technical but Shawn was able to handle it and make it a bit fun.

I highly recommend this course to get an introduction into energy storage for those who are trying to obtain more knowledge or join this industry.

As a licensed master electrician. I didn't need the NEC over view, Im pretty sure I can thumb my way around the code book.

well this is great help.
