Sean White and Bill Brooks explain things well and are very reponsive to to questions during the course. Very recommended course to take.

by Chris Young, Solar Installer, Peninsula Solar 11/04/2022

This is the best course for solar that you can get. I started last year as a laborer, worked my way as a technician and now I am a field manager due to this course. I use the information every day on our job sites, I feel confident with what I know and the results show in our arrays.

by Carey Walter, CEO, Earthbound Electric LLC 09/21/2022

This course is full of useful information, sure to increase your working knowledge of PV systems and their installation. Sean's approach helps to retain dense material with humor and in depth explanations. I'm thankful that this is the path I took towards my NABCEP PVIP certification.

The video course was made very well, with plenty of practice exam questions and good explanations of the material

by Michael Yaple, Site Supervisor, Onsite Solar LLC 06/21/2021

I've taken a lot of online classes, and this course is the best I've ever taken. Sean really takes the time to thoroughly explain course material and is very responsive on the discussion board. I have no doubts that I will pass the PVIP exam on my first attempt. Thanks Sean!

If you want to level up in the solar industry, there is no better way to do it than to become a NABCEP PVIP. If you want to study for the PVIP exam, there is no place better to do that than HeatSpring.

by Ronald Bayes, Cofounder and Director of Business Development, Sunblaze Energy 02/04/2021

Sean and Bill are excellent resources for PV professionals of all levels of expertise.

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

by Robert Itule, COO/Master Electrician, Redrocks Roof And Solar LLC 08/15/2023

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.

by gumaro adame 08/14/2023

well this is great help.

by Jhoan Hernandez 05/23/2023

Looked for a class that gave me the necessary knowledge and a good guide to study. The practice exam and explanations are a great learning tool!

by Michael Spaniol, Renewable Energy Officer, Energy Advantage Roof & Solar 05/03/2023

The Heatspring Solar PV 40-hour Advanced Certification Training was a crucial resource for leveling up my knowledge in the quickly developing solar industry. I am far more confident in my work as a solar operations lead, and can apply it in many different areas throughout the industry. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is taking their training seriously and wants to pursue a career in solar.

by Alec Schweitzer 03/20/2023

This online course is the best of both worlds. The videos allow you to work at your own pace, but the instructor is always able to be reached and is very eager to answer questions or just talk solar.

by John Amundson, Commercial Solutions Manager, All Energy Solar 02/21/2023

Great course, great instructors, up to date materials, and enjoyable.

by Emily Sigmund, Solar Designer, StraightUp Solar 02/19/2023

I would have no chance of passing this exam without this course. The practice exams and explanations are great ways to make sure I'm accurately applying the information I'm learning. I passed the first practice exam I took, which really reduced my fear and stress surrounding the exam. Super grateful for the information I learned!

by Peter Keller, Field Supervisor, Renewable Energy Systems 01/26/2023

I won't know how effective the course is until I take the exam.

by Lester Gray, Owner, Tron Solar 01/16/2023

This course is not only good for getting the NABCEP PVIP. It also prepares you to pass electrical exams for Master, or Journeyman. I highly recommend this course.

by Chris Hasenzahl, Master Electrician, Deborah Bradley Construction & Management Services 11/10/2022

Students : We do not learn , we ABSORB ! The key is repetitiveness !

by Deju Nation, CEO/Manager, Renewable Power Systems Ltd. 10/30/2022

I highly recommend this NABCEP PVIP training course by Sean White/Bill Brooks. I have really learned alot and nothing beats direct training from industry experts with in depth knowledge/experience of the NEC and what's required for passing NABCEP Exams...so get enrolled!!!

by Garrett Hartwell 10/15/2022

Hip Hip horray!

by Brian Powers 09/06/2022

Would prefer to be anonymous: The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging and the self paced format allowed me to work at my own pace and let the information sink in.

by James Schafnit 08/03/2022

Every professional looking to take their understanding of solar past learning by rote needs this education.

by Riley Neugebauer, Trainer, Solar for Women & Footprint Project 05/17/2022

As someone who has some experience with installation, but who is still learning, this course really helped make sense of the National Electric Code and brought my understanding to a whole different level. In addition to all of the materials, having access to Sean via the discussion forum where you can ask any questions you can think up was also really valuable. I'm feeling much more prepared to take the NABCEP exam than I was when I started.

by Michael DiPanfilo, Project Engineer, Earthlight Technologies 05/01/2022

My knowledge of PV design has increased immensely by taking this course. I would suggest it to anyone pursuing a career in Solar.

by Ed A 04/18/2022

by Daniel Harp, Solar Designer, A&R Solar 04/14/2022

If you're just starting out in Solar PV or are switching your career path to solar, this course is going to give you the real info that people in the solar industry deal with every day, AND help you pass the N.A.B.C.E.P. P.V.I.P. exam.

by Ashton Thurneyssen, Senior Manager, GAF Energy LLC 03/04/2022

Great in depth information and a little fun along the way. It's clear that Mr. White has a real passion for solar and has genuine experience in the industry.

by Starsky Dias, Service, Ceu&Sol Energia Solar 06/15/2021

I am really happy I took this course because without it I would not have qualified to take a NABCEP test. Now I can take my PVS exam and after I get experience in the field I can take the PVIP exam.

by Michael Morse 03/27/2021

A VERY in-depth and detailed course that will enable you to become knowledgeable and confident within the PV industry. This is an incredible tool and resource (the only one you'll likely need) to prepare for the NABCEP PVIP exam! There is a plethora of extra/additional content that supplements the core material to prepare for the NABCEP PVIP exam. Sean White and Bill Brooks are not only guru's, been in the industry for decades, but also help write the NEC code that this course prepares you to be examined. Great teaching style to help lighten the material. Thank you Sean!

by Duncan Bryla 03/23/2021

Excellent course. Clearly taught by a very knowledgable teacher. I am preparing for the NABCEP PVIP exam and this was the perfect study guide. Many practice exams with the answers explained in great detail. The ability to work at my own pace but still having instructor feedback and responses makes for a very convenient and smooth learning process. If you are preparing for any NABCEP exam, this course is a must.

by Adriano Orfei, Crew Lead Installer , Freedom Solar Power 01/02/2021

watch the videos as mach as you need to understand as much as you can, and to at least navigate the NEC fast and effectively

by Patrick Monteith, Installer, Okanagan Solar 12/18/2020

I would highly recommend this course for an intensive detail of everything you should know about solar.

by Randy Romans, owner, Randy Romans Electric 12/12/2020

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to prepare for the NABCEP exam. Although I am a master electrician I am relatively new to the solar industry and found the advanced material in the course to be clearly presented and easy to understand. The practice exams and the explanation videos to the questions on the practice exams were so valuable in helping me gain the knowledge to be able to pass the NABCEP exam and also help in the field with installs and maintenance!

by Richard Phillips, Project Manager, Conundrum Technologies 11/22/2020

I passed my test the first time because of Sean's classes and books

by Salim A 11/19/2020

by Marthinus van der Merwe, Solar Foreman, August Roofing Inc. 11/02/2020

This is a great course to prepare for the NABCEP professional exam. It has deepened my understanding of solar, electric, and the NEC, and has not only prepared me for the exam, but has also grown me to do my job better. It's great that you can go at your own pace, you gain valuable knowledge without constant pressure of deadlines. Sean is a great teacher, and this is a great course.

by Ken Nadsady, Owner/Lead Installer, AviSun Renewable Energy 10/23/2020

The Heatspring Advanced PV course is great. There is a large amount of material provided, covering all the exam objectives. Sean and Bill present the material in an often entertaining manner, which helped keep me interested and engaged, so I could learn and retain the knowledge I needed. It definitely was key to helping me pass the exam.

by Hilario Godines, Owner, Renewable Energy Of Texas 10/16/2020

The course goes way beyond just learning about solar. All the additional information related to our craft made me feel like I got more than my money’s worth.

by Tristan Wall, Superintendent , JR&CO 07/20/2020

I found Sean's instruction to be very valuable and an enjoyable way to learn what I need to know while going for the NABCEP PV Installer exam.

by Mangal Maharjan, Design Engineer, EDF Renewables 07/15/2020

Though I am designing the Solar PV system for residential and commercial since 8 years, this course made me mode so confident and more accurate design. I recommend to take this course who are in and thinking to come in PV sector.

by Richard Fry, Co founder, Kuubix Global, LLC 05/18/2020

I would recommend this course for anyone looking to obtain certification. I have taken other courses and they do not have the detailed explanations that this course covers. Also Sean's knowledge as an electrician speaks volumes.

by Sterling Jessop, CCO, 5 Star Solar 05/09/2020

I would strongly recommend Sean's course(s) to anyone looking to advance their knowledge about solar. His courses are very well designed to create a learning experience that makes you think about and understand each topic very well.

by Jeremy Booska, Operations Manager, Windmar Home Florida inc 05/05/2020

Thanks so much for the class I hope it helps me pass the test
