Student reviews

I found the course very interesting, informative and thought provoking in understanding the next steps moving on from renewable integration and the challenges that higher levels of renewable penetration offer. The course is filled with good sources of reference and examples. I would certainly recommend it to those engineers who influence decision making in designs and managing energy demand with alternative options other than just a grid connection.

Solid foundation on battery storage existing off-grid and emerging grid-tied.

Of all the solar storage courses online and in class this Heatspring course was definitely the most professional and involved of all of them. I'm happy I made the decision to choose this course. Thank you

This is a fantastic course for the inexperience, and experienced Solar+Storage career professional. There is always more to learn and this course will touch base on every subject and make you a well-rounded individual in this excellent "green-collared" field.

This course will quickly advance your knowledge on all the important industry aspects of technical, markets, policy and financial analysis.

Storage technologies are broadening the market for cost-effective PV applications and the Advanced Solar + Storage course provides and excellent overview of currently available technologies and what will be needed in the future. A very professional and timely presentation supplemented with valuable course materials.

This is my third course with Heatspring. As we in the Bahamas a century behind the US in solar technology and resources I was not able to complete the technically advanced objectives, like drawings and designs. This is due mainly to the lack of concrete project goals in our environment. Still, what I've learned will lead me to completing projects in real life once they appear on our horizon.

This course is a very good launching point for getting started in the solar plus storage industry. The instructor's experience provides a good foundation and broad perspective of the field. This course covers residential, commercial and industrial applications, helping the student refine where they want to specialize in their future work.

Heatspring's Advanced Solar and Storage on-line was a great way for me to gather a tremendous amount of information about battery storage. We learned about equipment, design, NEC code, utility and finances. It gave me just the boost I needed to support my understanding of utility battery storage moving forward.

Enjoyed this heatspring course. A good way to go to improve knowledge for busy professionals.

Heatspring is a huge resource for the energy storage business. Wes Kennedy is spot on with his resources.

<taken from first question> Wes covers a variety of current, historical and potential future storage applications. Wes's background and experience is very valuable and apparent in the videos. In addition, love the discussion board - listening to other students for real world feedback on products, applications and experience.

With my background in solar I feel this class augmented my knowledge and has given me a good understanding markets, financials and technologies.

I appreciated the approach Wes took with a holistic view of Advanced Solar + Storage. He took wide ranging and toothy topics and made them accessible with humour and analogy. He was effective in tying together the common storage components from the smallest off-grid cabin to utility scale grid support.

A very worthwhile class for anyone interested in a comprehensive perspective of the exciting and rapidly evolving solar + storage market in the US. Wes has a firm grasp on the large variety of information on this subject matter and a great communication style for online learning. I really enjoyed this class.

Very good overview of the current state of storage technology and economics.
